We bring people abundance -- the key” (1962); “Mechanic, be certain: they are preparing a winter harvest!” (1964); “Decisions of the XXIV Congress of the CPSU - to life! October 10 is the All-Union Day of Agricultural Workers” (1971); "Let's give the country more potatoes!" (1976), "The quality of the products of the fields is the guarantee of the farmer!"
