1812 Overture Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Dear gentlemen, when I recently browsed the photos, I found that there was a gentleman beside Khrushchev who was smiling happily, and I wanted to know what his name was or his profile. I found that Khrushchev had him in most corn photos. . . Thank you

meyerse Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Yes I believe this is correct, and of course the founder of Garst Seeds.

1812 Overture Posted June 24, 2020 Author Posted June 24, 2020 Thank you. It turned out that he was the owner of the farm. I can't open Wikipedia.
Leaftree Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Just as he promoted the Virgin Lands Program as a solution to the grain problem, so Nikita Khrushchev touted the expansion of corn cultivation as a solution to the livestock problem. “There will be no communism if our country has as much metal and cement as you like but meat and grain are in short supply,” he remarked in early 1954. To increase the supply of meat, Khrushchev sought at every opportunity to popularize corn as a fodder crop. http://soviethistory.msu.edu/1961-2/corn-campaign/
