On the 11th of June, the harvesting season began in the wheat fields of the Dashoguz and Balkan velayats of the country. Inspired by the blessing of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, addressed to all grain growers of the Fatherland at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers held on the 29th of May, farmers are determined to collect the rich grain harvest in the shortest possible time and without losses. 

The start of the mowing in the Dashoguz and Balkan velayats was preceded by production seminars with the participation of representatives of the velayat and etrap hakimlik, experienced agronomists, machine operators, and tenant farmers. The agenda included issues of proper organisation of the harvest, ensuring the clear and coordinated work of the entire grain harvesting conveyor. 

The seminar participants expressed their sincere gratitude to President Serdar Berdimuhamedov for his constant concern for rural workers, the successfully implemented reforms aimed at the systematic technical re-equipment and modernisation of the agro-industrial complex, and the created conditions for a decent life and fruitful work of farmers.

It should be noted that in 2025, the country's grain growers intend to harvest 1 million 400 thousand tons of food wheat from 690 thousand hectares of land.

The grain field of the northern region is 145 thousand hectares, from which farmers will have to harvest 265 thousand tons of grain. As for the grain growers of the western region, their state order, according to the Decree of the head of state, is 80 thousand tons of grain from 50 thousand hectares of land.

According to the good folk tradition that has developed over the centuries, the elders offered a prayer to the Almighty for a successful harvest. Then the respected aksakals, having received sickles from the hands of the younger generation, mowed the first ripe ears of wheat with the words «Harmanyňyza bereket, çäjiňize bereket!» – «May the harvest of your grain be abundant!» and handed over symbolic sheaves to the combine operators.

The farmers did a lot to grow a full harvest - in terms of carrying out measures when caring for winter crops and strictly observing agricultural standards, giving preference to high-yielding varieties of wheat that have proven themselves well in the soil and climatic conditions of the region.

Grain harvesters, distinguished by their power and high productivity, entered the fields. Their uninterrupted operation is ensured by a network of repair and mechanical teams with a sufficient number of spare parts, fuel and lubricants.

Wheat will be delivered to receiving points, barns and elevators by trucks. The laboratories of the Main State Service «Türkmenstandartlary» are also fully prepared, and their specialists will use the latest equipment to quickly determine the quality of grain coming from the fields.

Mandatory safety and fire safety training has been provided to machine operators, drivers and other workers participating in the mowing. Appropriate conditions for work and rest have been created for them at the field camps, performances by cultural figures and the work of mobile trading points have been organised.

In this way, the beginning of the harvest in the northern and western regions turned into a bright, memorable holiday - exhibitions of products from the country's agro-industrial complex were organised, samples of modern agricultural machinery were demonstrated, and a concert of pop artists took place.
