The Dazhynki began with the traditional laying of flowers at the memorial to the soldiers and partisans from the local area who died during the Great Patriotic War. After that, the district leadership, the heroes and guests of the festival took their places on the open stage to present and receive well-deserved awards for their labor achievements. All agricultural enterprises of the district formed delegations of the best representatives of their teams who took part in the harvesting campaign.

Bobruisk grain growers have always done their job worthily and professionally. This year, Bobruisk District contributed 36,500 tons of grain from the new harvest to the nation's granaries, and produced 6,200 tons of rapeseed, which was 167 percent of last year's level. The leader in threshing per point-hectare was the SPK Gigant, which harvested 7,700 tons of grain and more than 2,000 tons of rapeseed. This year, 50 crews worked on the harvest in Bobruisk District, and 48 vehicles were used to haul grain. The absolute leader among them was Oleg Verevkin, senior combine operator of SPK Gigant, who threshed 2,420 tons of grain including rapeseed. Among the drivers working on hauling the harvest, the best result was achieved by Alexander Tsed, a driver of the same SPK Gigant, who transported 3.2 tons of grain.

Vladimir Gatsko, head of the main health department of the regional executive committee, read a welcome address from Anatoly Isachenko, chairman of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee, which acknowledged the contribution of the Bobruisk region to the food security of the region and the country as a whole.

Dozens of managers and specialists of agricultural enterprises, combine operators, and drivers came onto the stage to receive awards earned through their labor. A letter of gratitude from the chairman of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee was presented to Vyacheslav Balyko, a driver of OAO Nevsky-Agro.

Tractor operators and drivers were awarded certificates of honor from the committee for agriculture and food of the regional executive committee, and letters of gratitude were presented from the regional trade union organization of the Belarusian Trade Union of Agricultural Workers, the regional veterans' organization, the Bobruisk District Council of Deputies, the district branch of the Belaya Rus party, the Bobruisk Department for Agriculture and Food, and the district organization of BRSM.
