One of the most interesting professionalholidays, which are known by far not all, is the day of the workers of agriculture and processing industry. His date is floating. It is celebrated on the second Sunday of October, when the harvest is already gathered. Why is this day important? Because it is time for all of us to realize that the basis of our life is not the extracted oil, developed services and beautiful shops. The foundation of the normal life of society - quality food.
Once upon a time, many centuries ago, developmentanimal husbandry and plant growing, as well as processing of various raw materials have given mankind the opportunity and at the same time the motivation to embark on the path of civilization. The whole system of the economy was built on a foundation created by peasants and farmers. Will we manage to preserve these industries today and pay tribute to those who work in them?
A bit of history
This little known holiday is the day of the workers.agriculture and processing industry - appeared relatively recently. It was founded in 1999, according to a decree signed by the president. Those times were very difficult. Everyone knows that the expression "dashing 90s" is associated with the collapse of industry, general decline and lawlessness. And because this holiday has such a high value. After all, the establishment of a special date emphasizing the importance of these sectors of the economy should have become a sign that symbolizes not only the restoration of the country, but also the development of a full-fledged economy. Unfortunately, for a long time we did not realize this. Until the crisis exposed the realities of life.
Harsh reality
Agriculture and processing are twoThe most important areas for the economy of any country. After all, these enterprises provide us with the most necessary things - food, clothing, raw materials for a huge amount of goods. When in the village there were celebrations on the day of agricultural workers and the processing industry in 2013, the Russian president emphasized the importance of these industries. He recalled their difficult history. What is worth at least serfdom, which was abolished only in 1861, or collectivization, which practically destroyed the Russian village in the Soviet Union? Today, finally, an understanding has come: it is necessary to develop the village. And not just to pump out oil, but to process the raw materials themselves. Unfortunately, not much is being done in this direction. As before, our farms do not live as much as they survive. And most of the goods we buy abroad.
Little holidays
About the day of agricultural workers andthe processing industry is known mainly by those who are engaged in these industries. This holiday is celebrated modestly, without too much pomp, but with sincere joy. Cheerful noisy fairs, small exhibitions, congratulations and thanks to the workers - this is how this day in the countryside goes. You will not see any loud salutes or beautiful reports on central television. Maybe it's for the best. After all, this holiday was created for the people themselves, as a tribute to their hard, but necessary work. Unnecessary speech here to anything.
So, on the day of agricultural workers andthe processing industry of 2014, which fell on October 12, the heads of enterprises in these industries congratulated all their employees, noted their achievements and great diligence, awarded prizes and small gifts. Next year, 2015, articles on this holiday have already begun to appear en masse on various Internet resources. And again they talked about the merits of those people who work in the fields and at the machine. I want to believe that they will finally come to us the realization that it is their work that is truly important and honorable.
Thank you for your work!
Yes, the day of workers in agriculture and processing industry known and not widely distributed asmust. And the situation itself in these sectors is not easy. And therefore, I would like not only to congratulate those people who create products we need so much, but also to say “thank you” to them. For not giving up on their hands, they do not go to work in lighter spheres of activity, but continue to struggle, coping with bad weather, bureaucracy, and crisis. Every autumn, we hear officials reporting to us that the harvest is good. They say that there is a growth of industry, our grain is being exported, as it used to be long ago, when we fed the whole of Europe. So let us, on the day of the workers in agriculture and the processing industry, remember not about beautiful figures, but about how hard they are given. And say thanks to these people!
