A problem
which has harrassed the farmer for
over 30 years is the wheat control
projects There are many kinds of
weeds such as thistle, knapweed
bindweed und many new species
Kussia is complaining about dirty

the wheat is clean of insects as it

the farmer should tie policing the
ways of delivering their product

that an excise tax be charged where
