MECHANIZATION

Like all branches of national economy rural economy is carefully planned and extended both in respect of raising the yield and in the recovery of new land for farming purposes. As is well known, a wide acreage of virgin and longfallow land was brought under the plough in recent years. This is mainly accounted for by all-round mechanization along with the application of scientific farming.

Overall mechanization embraces all field operations, as well as to a considerable extent also scientific cattle-breeding. It makes available the best meth­ods of tillage while it, at the same time, permits of doing away with arduous farm-labour.

Our mechanical engineering provides agriculture with all necessary machinery. The aggregate capacity of agricultural machinery is increasing, and new improved ma­chines are being built which carry out most varied opera­tions in agriculture.
