One of the most important components of the program for building communism is the comprehensive development of heavy industry, the foundation of the country's socialist economy. Alongside a powerful industrial sector, it is essential to have a highly developed agriculture capable of producing sufficient food and raw materials to ensure an uninterrupted supply of consumer goods and to meet other national needs. Thanks to the care and attention of the Party and the Government, socialist agriculture has been steadily equipped with the most advanced technology and has continued to develop on the basis of the rapid growth of heavy industry. Conditions have been created for the vigorous expansion of agricultural production, and both the gross output of major crops and livestock products have increased.At the same time, as noted in the directives of the Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union concerning the Sixth Five-Year Plan for the National Economy of the USSR (1956-1960), the targets for agricultural production established under the Fifth Five-Year Plan were not fulfilled. This shortcoming hindered the development of light and food industries as well as the production of consumer goods. The level of mechanization and automation in agricultural production processes remained inadequate, and the powerful technical resources provided to agriculture by the socialist state were not being fully utilized. The principal task of the Sixth Five-Year Plan was therefore to ensure further vigorous growth in all sectors of the national economy on the basis of the priority development of heavy industry, continuous technological progress, and rising labor productivity; to achieve rapid growth in agricultural production; and, on this foundation, to significantly improve the material well-being and cultural standard of the Soviet people.The mechan
