the privatization of farms was
forming,” Moyer said. ‘They are
trying to get the land back in the
hands of the private farmers. This
is their goal, but it is still a Com
munist country, and they don’t sell
the land; they only loan it with no
guarantee of future ownership. It is
only a promise of the government
and the local farmers are not stu
pid. When the leaders are not pre
sent, they confide that the promises
of the government are suspect.
‘They were promised private
land for decades. Then something
would get started, and the govern
ment would take it from them
again. That’s why they hesitate to
go ahead with farming now.”
The group made a 2500 mile trip

Master Farmer Visits Russia To Compare Notes
to Voronezh, to Volgograd and
back to Moscow. While the area
covered looks very small on the
total map of the former Soviet
Union, the visit was to the heart of
the fertile black soil region along
the Seim river. While the individu
als on the tour had requested to see
private farms, the officials mostly
had excuses as to why these farms
could not be seen.
‘They wanted to show us only
the best farms so they took us out to
the hills to see the vast farming area
of rich soils,” Moyer said ‘‘But the
soil was hard as rock. They had no
measurable rain since June.”
The one real dairy farm they did
see was visited when a taxi was
hired privately. Half of the dairy
stalls were empty. Cows were
being slaughtered because the far
mers could not afford to keep them.

Large fields are plowed without
regard to conservation, and the
group tried to teach the Russian
farmers by showing photographs
of how it is done here.
The markets in town were primi
tive. Produce was displayed on the
ground. A side of beef would be
hanging in the market, and a man
with a cleaver would chop out the
cut you wanted.
The group met a family that
would like to have an exchange
visit with a small family in Ameri
ca. In addition, before the trip, a
Russian family that has immi
grated to the local area provided
Moyer with a few words of greet
ing to help him communicate on
the trip.
Through these contacts, Moyer
hopes to continue his communica
tion with the Russian people.
