Russians Buy American Farm Machinery and Siberian Harvest Tour
Mr. Sowash described Russian use of American combines to copy designs while Russia imports U.S. farm equipment. He recounted a long Trans-Siberian journey to a government wheat farm, where 190,000 acres were cultivated for harvesting 65 bushel wheat, with 7,900 workers and three Americans guiding them. He noted harsh conditions, sparse diet, and political prisoners in timber camps, plus widespread atheism and propaganda-driven education among Russians.
