"We proved together with Tomsk agrarians that agriculture, even in difficult Siberian conditions, can, and therefore should be, profitable," the regional governor Sergei Zhvachkin commented the leadership of Tomsk region in the rating. "Last year, we reached a historic record in the cereals yield, have already begun to export peas and canola, stabilized the number of cattle, consolidated the leadership in Siberia in milk production, built new farms and reconstructed the existing ones. Of course, the secret of success lies in the support of the state, the interaction of farms with our scientific and educational companies, but the main secret is in people who achieved such results primarily with their labor and talent. This spring, the weather does not please Tomsk agrarians, the region is in the emergency situation. But there is a margin of safety for the rural residents, and we will not leave our people alone with problems."
