Agricultural workers in the Balkan province are currently engaged in intensive seasonal care for winter wheat crops. According to the "Altyn Asyr" digital newspaper, farmers in the western region aim to harvest more than 80,000 tons of grain from 50,000 hectares of farmland in 2026. Following a successful autumn sowing season that resulted in healthy sprouts, the current focus is on maintaining crop vitality to ensure a high-yield harvest.

Key agricultural activities, including irrigation, fertilization with mineral and organic supplements, and weed control, are being carried out across the province’s districts. The efficiency of these operations is significantly enhanced by the use of high-performance machinery and modern technology. The integration of digital systems and telematics has optimized production processes, allowing for high-quality and precise management of the fields.

Special progress is being reported in the Gyzylarbat, Bereket, Magtymguly, Etrek, and Esenguly districts, where field maintenance is exceptionally well-organized. Experts are paying close attention to crop rotation hygiene and the standardized application of herbicides. Labor teams from the "Balkanobahyzmat" production association are working productively in each district to provide technical support and ensure that all agrotechnical requirements are met.

The strategic efforts of Balkan’s wheat growers are focused on meeting national production targets and strengthening the region's food security. The ongoing dedication to crop maintenance serves as a vital step toward contributing to Turkmenistan's overall grain independence and economic stability.

Starting November 1, 2026, Turkey will restrict access to social media platforms for children under the age of 15 following a new regulatory decree issued by the Presidential Cyber Security Directorate and published in the Resmi Gazete. Under the new framework, users aged 15 to 18 will undergo mandatory age verification through the "e-Devlet" portal. Accounts for this age group will feature default private settings, with explicit bans on live streaming, targeted behavioral ads, and profile recommendation algorithms.

Social media networks are also required to provide parents and legal guardians with control tools to monitor usage time, location tracking, and financial transactions. Existing active accounts must complete the age verification process by March 31, 2027.
