Russians Tour America Farm States In 37 Day Mission
John Strohm, editor of the Ford Almanac, led a 12 man Russian farm delegation across 12 U.S. states for 37 days. He says the trip was a success but could be better by tailoring visits to each official group, noting Russians were policy specialists rather than dirt farmers. The Russians paid their own expenses, took notes and photos, and plan to use the information at the top Soviet leadership level. They shopped widely and brought back clothing and gadgets as souvenirs.
