The State Control Committee of the Gomel region, during a grain inspection of one of its agricultural enterprises in the Rogachevsky district, found more than 300 tonnes of grain that had been stored on an open site, partially in puddles of water. Such conditions led to the formation of mold spots and spoilage of the grain.

Moreover, it was established that, at the director's instruction and with the knowledge of the chief agronomist of the farm, 10 tonnes of a forage grain mix and 10 tonnes of grain residues—half of which consisted of grain that had become unfit due to untimely processing and improper storage—were taken to the field and scattered. The farm suffered damage amounting to more than 6,000 rubles.

At the Committee's request, the grain stored on the site was sent for processing and drying; the damage inflicted on the farm is being claimed from the responsible parties, and materials for legal assessment have been forwarded to the financial investigation authorities.
