From 1994-1999, the International Development Division of Land O'Lakes, Inc., a dairy cooperative based in Arden Hills, Minnesota, implemented two USAID-funded agricultural reform projects in western Ukraine. Through the work of the two projects and the great many consultants and volunteers they hosted, many useful documents -- covering a wide range of agricultural topics of interest to farmers -- were composed and/or translated into Ukrainian.
In an effort to make the maximium possible use of the
materials, we have decided to catalog this information here. By providing
free, easy access for farmers, development professionals, and government
officials, we hope to ensure that this information continues to be useful
for those working to make private agriculture in the Former Soviet Union
and Eastern Europe a success.
