The President and Prime Minister of Russia, who arrived in the Stavropol Territory today, looked at the corn harvest at the Rodina agricultural enterprise and tried themselves as combine operators.
Medvedev and Putin arrived at the field together in a motorcade. The director of Rodina said that this year the enterprise managed to harvest the largest harvest since its creation. The head of state and the prime minister were shown the agricultural products that the enterprise grows: flax, soybeans, wheat, rapeseed.
Then the president and prime minister worked on two combines. An experienced combine operator sat next to each, helping with instructions, but Medvedev and Putin operated their machines independently. They collected 6 tons of crops and then simultaneously poured the results of their labor into KAMAZ.
“Come on. It’s a good feeling and the cabin is comfortable,” Medvedev said after leaving the combine cabin.
In turn, Putin noted that more than 10 tons of corn were collected.
“How will we divide?” Medvedev asked with a smile.
“We’ll weigh it and divide it. We collected 6 tons,” Putin said. “Great! I liked it,” said the prime minister.
Medvedev said that the combine is very good, but there are nuances that need to be brought to fruition - this is what the machine operators think, according to him.
