Today the cotton sowing campaign has started in four velayats of Turkmenistan. According to tradition, the cotton growers were blessed by respected elders. They offered prayers to the Almighty for a good harvest, health and well-being of farmers and the country's leader, and then threw the first seeds of the cotton crop into the ground. After the blessing of the elders, the mechanized planters set to work.
