Residents of the Kurgan region can get seed potatoes for free. Information and terms of issue are published on the official website of the Shadrinsk city administration.
“This is targeted support for certain categories of residents. <...> Those in need will be able to receive free of charge 20 kg of seed potatoes per 1 hundred square meters (but not more than 100 kg). The townspeople must take out the potatoes from the place of distribution on their own, ”the Shadrinsk mayor’s office said in a statement.
Those who plan to grow potatoes in areas that have not been used for a year or more, or who are expanding the plot, can count on a measure of support. Free potatoes can be received by pensioners and disabled people who have a federal social supplement to their pensions, families with children who are on social services and receive child support.
“Citizens who are not on social services must send an application to the administration addressed to the head of the city. The application is accompanied by a confirmation from the village administration or a gardening partnership that there is land that has not been cultivated for more than a year. Residents who are on social services send an application addressed to the head to the territorial complex center of social services. Applications are accepted until April 29, inclusive," representatives of the Shadrinsk administration specified.
