This poster, with its charming illustrations of farm life, serves as a reminder of the importance of agriculture across the Soviet Union. Various agricultural products sit around a table with beekers, pigs and cows sit in rows at feeders, an anthropomorphic bag of wheat is measured, and cows gather around to celebrate the opening of a barn. All of these images celebrate the liveliness and crucial importance of farming and farm life.
