Can you help translate this for me to swedish? Many thanks in advance!

The communist government allocated substantial resources to the development of agriculture. Large-scale programs of land reclamation, soil improvement, and irrigation, as well as increased use of fertilizers, all contributed to a significant expansion of agricultural production. Yet, despite impressive gains, agricultural production continues to be hindered by the persistence of traditional farming methods, low mechanization, and a lack of material incentives to encourage farmers to produce. This lasting legacy of the forced collectivization of agriculture and the abolition of private property has made it necessary to return land to the peasants and allow them to raise crops and livestock for private profit. The expansion of private agriculture is intended to pave the way for the introduction of new farming techniques and mechanization.

Plasmatics site

Where did you hear that it was blacklisted? I'm curious. wikipediatrix 20:44, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It did not appear to be a page about the Plasmatics at all. When I tried to add one a page showed up with substantial content. So I tried to save it. As I saved it there was a message that made it obvious that the page contained references to blacklisted sites. I could also veryify that by looking at the list of blacklisted sites. Did not do anything about it other than removing the link. Metallion 00:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
