Farm equipment

Exterior view with W. Averell Harriman standing second from the right in short sleeve shirt. He is looking at farm equipment with three unidentified men. He may have been visiting the Viktorov State Farm not far from Rudni (Rudnyy), Kazakhstan. Thayer's typewritten account of the visit states "that the farm was started on the 15th of April in 1955." He also writes, "We visited a field station where young state farmers were repairing their equipment." Charles W. Thayer accompanied W. Averell Harriman as a guide and confidant on the trip which took place May 12 - June 26, 1959.
