...MESS ON THE FARM. Despite his proud proclamations of expertise in agriculture (he devoted more speeches to crop yield, fertilizer and seed bulls than any 20 national leaders), Khrushchev's farm programs were disastrous.

Nonetheless, Bulgaria still has a long way to go before reaching self-sufficiency.
