The chicken branch, centered near Tenaha, Texas, and the floriculture operation, in Apopka...

The dead hand of the planner falls most heavily on agriculture, which is the weakest sector of the Soviet economy; the U.S.S.R. will again this year be forced to make massive grain purchases in the West. Though about 30% of the population is engaged in agriculture, the farm yields remain unsatisfactory, largely because of shortages in good fertilizer and such modern machinery as combines. Because the country lacks sufficient storage and processing facilities, each year about 15% of all grain, vegetables...
