The message reads, in part:

“For years, your prestigious professional celebration and sports festival, held with the support of Russia’s Ministry of Agriculture, Rosagroleasing, and leading domestic companies, has brought together agricultural professionals from across the nation and beyond. This forum serves as a vital platform for discussing the priorities of domestic agriculture, showcasing advanced technologies and machinery, and sharing invaluable experience. Undeniably, the centrepiece of the programme, and the most anticipated highlight, is the machine operators’ competition, where participants will vie for the title of best ploughman in a spectacular and fiercely contested display of skill.

I would like to emphasise that such ambitious, fascinating, multifaceted events – and your championship is a prime example – play a pivotal role in strengthening regional and international cooperation. They uphold the legacy of noble, indispensable agricultural labour, support our farmers, and elevate the prestige of this foundational sector of our national economy and related professions.”
