[00:03:00] region continues to eliminate the consequences of the night
[00:03:03] thunderstorm front. The Minsk region's bread-loaf grows, with
[00:03:07] 1.5 million tons of grain on the account of the central

[00:03:24] the working youth of Minsk region.
[00:03:27] Flooded streets and fallen trees. Nine districts of Minsk
[00:03:31] region suffered from the blow of natural elements. A powerful
[00:03:35] thunderstorm front with heavy rain, squally winds and lightning
[00:03:38] discharges caused damage. The most difficult
[00:03:41] situation is in the Vileika district. It remains the most
[00:03:44] affected due to the scale of network damage.
[00:03:48] The main reason for the outage is falling branches and trees on power
[00:03:51] lines. Energy workers promptly respond
[00:03:55] to citizens' appeals and work to restore
[00:03:58] power supply.
[00:04:30] trees falling on the railway track, there was
[00:04:33] a delay in the movement of two trains in Molodechno district, there are
[00:04:37] cases of damage to cars. Emergency
[00:04:39] services continue to monitor and eliminate
[00:04:42] the consequences.
[00:04:45] Meanwhile, the farmers of Minsk region are confidently moving towards
[00:04:48] the second million tons of grain, and already 220
[00:04:52] crews of combine harvesters, thousand-tonners, among them almost three
[00:04:55] dozen youth. Their tasks during the harvest in
[00:04:59] Belarus. Agrarian scientists, so in the farm Shipiany
[00:05:03] OSK, they harvest winter rapeseed and spring barley, this
[00:05:06] is an affiliated enterprise of the NPC of the Academy of Sciences for
[00:05:09] agriculture, its task is to produce elite
[00:05:13] seeds, which are then used by farmers in regions throughout the country. In
[00:05:16] Shipiany, 2500 tons of seeds are produced
[00:05:20] annually. At the moment, we are harvesting two
[00:05:23] crops, this is winter rapeseed with an average
[00:05:26] yield of 35 centners per hectare, and
[00:05:29] spring barley. The yield in this area shows 72 centners per
[00:05:33] hectare. For our lands with our fertility, I think
[00:05:37] this is quite an adequate yield
[00:05:40] that we...
[00:06:12] By the way, the work of professionals is visible even in complete darkness.
[00:06:16] Especially since night is not a reason to stop the harvesting process.
[00:06:20] We need to thresh while the weather allows. Farmers of the central
[00:06:24] region continue to work in the fields after sunset.
[00:06:27] Bloggers of the Minsk region also got into one of the significant
[00:06:31] shifts. And our correspondent, Ilya Tsvetkov, is with them.
[00:06:35] To clean everything to the last ear,
[00:06:38] regardless of the circumstances, day and
[00:06:41] night. This is the task of the farmers
[00:06:45] of the central region, and therefore now we are in the Volozhin
[00:06:48] district, in the fields of the agricultural enterprise, and
[00:06:52] behind my back, powerful combines are working, the grain growers
[00:06:55] went into the night
[00:06:57] shift.
[00:07:01] The light is good, I like everything, everything is visible, everything
[00:07:04] suits me, we need bread on the table, without
[00:07:07] bread there is no food, we need
[00:07:10] to harvest, the weather allows.
[00:07:42] now, of course, the Gomselmash combine is simply
[00:07:45] heaven and earth, guys, because many people, for example, you drive during the day,
[00:07:49] the field is all yellow, and in the morning you drive, look, it's already all
[00:07:53] harvested, the balers have already removed the bales, the grain has been
[00:07:56] transported, and people drive by and don't understand how such a miracle
[00:08:00] happened, because while everyone is sleeping at night, combine operators in Belarus
[00:08:03] are working. Yes, I, of course, rode in the cabin with the combine operator,
[00:08:06] emotions are really overwhelming, I really
[00:08:09] liked it, it's very interesting, I would go myself. hectare
[00:08:21] in this farm, meaning we catch every minute
[00:08:25] today the weather, considering the weather, today the weather says
[00:08:28] that grain can be threshed even until 11
[00:08:32] and until 15 hours, on average about 400-500
[00:08:36] tons are threshed per day, depending on the weather,
[00:08:39] of course, but if in ideal conditions, then yes, about... on average 400 tons
[00:08:43] of cold water are delivered, and we also provide it in the morning, at
[00:08:47] noon and in the evening, that is, providing a person with water
[00:08:51] is a sacred thing, when the weather is favorable, then
[00:08:54] night harvesting is organized as today, it
[00:08:57] allows us to additionally harvest
[00:09:00] about 4 hectares per each combine, and with such a yield
[00:09:03] as here now on spring wheat, this is to get another
[00:09:07] about 30-35 tons per unit, plus three combines were added. life, well-being,
[00:09:10] единицу, прибавились плюс три комбайна. жыцця, дабрабыту,
[00:10:14] generosity
[00:10:22] of the Belarusian soul and unity. where 9 years
[00:10:26] ago I first tried
[00:10:29] to bake sourdough bread, I always baked
[00:10:32] and probably since I was 19, my mother baked
[00:10:35] very good yeast dough, my sister
[00:10:38] makes korovai and pies,
[00:10:41] but probably this business led to sourdough
[00:10:45] bread, 4 years ago, probably, I was asked to bake it for the harvest festival,
[00:10:48] the biggest work so far is the Palace
[00:10:51] of Independence, and the collective of
[00:10:55] Molodechno Bakery joined the creation of the main korovai
[00:10:58] of the Minsk region. The enterprise helped bake the base of the bread masterpiece
[00:11:02] more than half a meter high. Now Elena Parasevich is developing
[00:11:06] the design of the hospitable symbols for the regional harvest festival, which Dzerzhinsk
[00:11:10] will host this year.
[00:11:13] A parade of teams, kayaking and Orient
[00:11:16] show. The republican festival Olympia 20-26
