A Sverdlovsk farmer explained why she dumped 200 tons of potatoes in the field to rot.
Tons of potatoes dumped in a field in the Bogdanovichsky district, which were previously discovered by local residents, belong to a local peasant farm, the E1.RU portal found out.
As the head of the farm, Anna Popova, told E1.RU, this was spoiled goods identified during the sorting of supplies.
The volume removed is about two hundred tons, which is standard practice for a large enterprise, the farmer noted. "Throwing away ten percent of what we grow is quite normal," explained the farm owner.
The farmer transported the potatoes to her own field; after the root vegetables decompose, the remnants will be removed, and the land will be plowed for new plantings.
"This is not a dump, but compost," Anna Popova explained. — "How do they make compost in the villages? They used to do it this way: they piled up waste for compost and spread it across the gardens."
Meanwhile, the vice-rector of the Ural State Agrarian University called it a potential ecological disaster: vegetables left out in the open attract rodents and flies, and a person could be poisoned by the gases released, reports "Channel Four."
But the farmer maintains that the rotting pile will not harm anyone, as the field is large — over 70 hectares, and there are no roads and no one walks there.
