along with the 13 other young
agriculturalists. We were
preparing for a three month
agricultural work study
program in the Soviet Union.
On June 7 we began a month
long study of Soviet
agriculture and Russian at
the Byelorussian
Agricultural Academy, one
of the oldest and best
agricultural academies in
the country. When one of our
teachers speaks no English
we have no choice but to
learn the language. Our
agricultural lectures were
usually given by department
heads and assistant
professors. We had many
lectures on Soviet
economics, agronomy,
mechanization, and animal
husbandry. The theory is
being explained here at the
academy, but the most in
teresting part of the
program will be seeing it
applied on the farms.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 1,1977-125
There are many
similarities as well as dif
ferences between the
Byelorussian Agricultural
Academy and my alma
mater, Penn State. The most
noticeable difference is size.
About 5000 students are
enrolled at the academy. As
an undergraduate student, I
was accustomed to an
enrollment of 30,000
students. One of the reasons
for the difference in size is
that the academy prepares
only agricultural specialists.
Penn State offers degrees
in many areas besides
agriculture. Enrollment in
the Penn State College of
agriculture however is half
the size of the enrollment of
the academy. The
organization of the academy
is very similar to that of the
college of agriculture. Each
institution is divided into
departments which prepare
students for one of a number
of different specialties.
However, there is a dif
ference in the time required
to complete a degree. At
Penn State the normal tune
required to complete a
degree is four years. Here
students study from four and
one half years to nearly five
years, depending on their
major. These students also
receive on the job training.

get this training, although it
is becoming available to a
larger number of students.
Here less emphasis is put on
animal agriculture and more
emphasis placed on
mechanization, drainage
and irrigation, due to the
need in this area for that
type of improvement.
Another difference that did
not go unnoticed was the
classes here last only 45
minutes. That is half as long
as I experienced as an un
dergraduate. Of course there
are two sides to every coin.
The students here attend
classes six hours a day, six
days a week, and they do not
have the freedom to arrange
their own schedule as I had
as an undergraduate.
Students here are also
assigned dormitories ac
cording to their major.
Students with the same or
similar majors live in the
same dormitory.
All in all it has been an
interesting and rewarding
experience to study in a
Soviet agricultural
academy. I have learned
much about the system and
the people of the Soviet
Union. I am very eager to
get to the farms where I can
learn about Soviet
agriculture from a different
angle. I hope to share future
experiences with you m
coming weeks.
