Traditionally, the project includes two nominations - "Youth combine crew that achieved the highest threshing" and "Young driver who transported the highest amount of grain". "The winners of the project will be invited to the Republican Forum of Rural Youth "Village - Territory of Development", which is planned to be held in the Grodno region on October 8-9. The solemn celebration of young agrarians will take place in the fields of this forum," added the project manager.
The youth project is implemented by the BRSM with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and other interested parties. It contributes to increasing national food security, popularizing agricultural labor and agrarian professions, and retaining youth in rural areas.
