Smolensk Region of Russia may lease some of its fields to Belarusian collective farms for a long term. The issue is being discussed by the administration of the border regions.
According to ONT Channel, workers from Liozna agricultural enterprise “Krynki” are already ploughing the fields of a Smolensk collective farm. There are Belarusian machines, people and even grain there. Belarusians will plough almost 5 thousand hectares in the borderland this year.
