"Excellent Crop Harvester"

Hi Charles,

Not Crop Harvester. I try to explain what it means...

In the beggining of the '50s, there was this system that the crop were taken from the peasants as to make the supply of people of the cities. The peasants had to deliever eggs, fat, meat, cereals etc in precribed quantity in every year. This had a self-imployed ministry. This was "Begyűjt?si Miniszt?rium". The worker of it was the "Begyűjt?s Dolgoz?ja".
