On September 4th, the sowing of winter wheat began in the velayats of Turkmenistan. Farmers in the Ahal, Balkan, Dashoguz, Lebap, and Mary velayats have embarked on this important agricultural campaign aimed at ensuring food abundance, reports TDH.

As per tradition, elders offered prayers for a bountiful harvest and sowed the first wheat seeds, passing the baton to the mechanized farmers. The country's farmers responsibly prepared the fields for sowing, having procured seeds of high-yield wheat varieties.
