Last year, Meshchovsky district added 45,131 tons of grain to the Kaluga "piggy Bank" – the fifth part of the regional loaf. And the lion's share of success meschovskogo farmers contributed to the agricultural enterprise "Agrofirm Meschovskogo". The gross grain harvest here was almost 30 thousand tons. 49 centners were collected per round. Today, the goal is to collect 60 centners from each hectare. A good Foundation for the future harvest in the fall and well-organized work these days in the spring field give reason to believe that the team can take such a height.
Spring this year came to the fields earlier than usual. Every working day in the "Agricultural Meschovskogo" begins with a short "briefing" organized by the General Director Tatyana Kuzmina. How hard we worked yesterday, what we have to do today, where to send the main forces – now, when every day feeds the year, it is important to avoid mistakes, to focus all efforts on the quality and optimal completion of spring sowing.
- We have 9500 hectares of land in circulation, - says agronomist Sergey Pavlov. - Compared to last year, 1,500 hectares have been added due to the introduction of cleared, leveled fields, freed from woody vegetation. And now Sergey Viktorovich Milyukov continues to discard fallow lands.
Winter wedge spread out on 4575 ha, of which wheat - on 4258 ha, the rest-rapeseed. On the entire area in the spring, these crops were fed with ammonium nitrate at the rate of 200 kilograms per hectare. Views of winter crops are pleasing to the eye. Work on spring sowing is carried out in two shifts. Anatoly Ivanovich Antonov, Vitaly Ivanovich Kondrashov, Gennady S. Kharchevnikov, Nikolai Gerasin Vyacheslav Strakhov, Alexander Leonov, Alexander-Peck, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Shurygin, Vladimir N. Metelkin, Sergey Nikiforov cultivate the soil. Sergey Gennadievich Beloborodov and Alexander Nikolaevich Lentitsky make mineral fertilizers. Seed loaders are managed by Vladimir Zharov and Yuri simonenkov. And drivers of KAMAZ Andrey Nikolaevich Grishin, Vladimir Nikolaevich Fomin, Nikolay Vladimirovich Novikov and Andrey Vladimirovich Fomin bring the planting material to the field. Roman V. Sitalov provides timely and uninterrupted refueling of equipment.
We allocate 4,600 hectares for spring wheat. On April 22, machine operators Vyacheslav Viktorovich Dubov, Yuri Mikhailovich Tulyakov, Yuri Ivanovich Pavlov, Dmitry Alexandrovich Harin sowed elite, etched seeds already 3400 hectares. Ilya Vladimirovich Anichkin and Andrey Valov are engaged in rolling up the crops.
Sergey Pavlov is a young specialist, a graduate of the Kaluga branch of the Timiryazev agricultural Academy. Work experience it is four years, half of them in "Agrofirma Meschovskogo". Before that, he applied his knowledge in practice under the watchful eye of the chief agronomist. The current sowing campaign for Sergey as a field technologist is the first independent one. Naturally, he is worried: the responsibility is very big and serious. As well as another young specialist-mechanic Dmitry Eremin. The agricultural enterprise has a powerful fleet of equipment, only one new twelve units.
"Agrofirma Meschovskogo" is gaining momentum. Now the cares of every day – from the start of the sowing campaign to the harvest finish - will be subordinated to the main thing-the fight for a high and good harvest.
