📋 Tender Overview
Grodno farmers plan to complete corn harvesting by the end of the month.As of November 4, the gross harvest of this crop for grain exceeded 381 thousand tons with a yield of 105 centners per hectare.In total, 50.9 thousand hectares are subject to harvesting in the region, over 70 percent, or 36.2 thousand hectares, have been harvested.Machine operators and farm managers are faced with the task of ensuring the safety of the harvested crop and preparing it for storage.The harvesting of corn for green mass was completed several weeks ago at the Skidelsky branch of Skidelsky Agricultural Plant OJSC.The total area of this crop on the farm for all purposes is 1,606 hectares, of which 1,096 are for green mass and 510 for grain. A decent harvest of corn for silage was stored in the bins: about 40 thousand tons.This is enough to feed the animals during the winter.All that remains is to press on and finish harvesting the grain.Such a responsible task is entrusted to experienced machine operators, including driver Anatoly Kniga, for him this is already the 30th season. I started harvesting corn on the Soviet Niva combine, on which more than one generation of farmers grew up, Anatoly recalls with a smile.- And now the technology is at a completely different level - work has become easier, more comfortable and much faster.The working width of the header is nine meters, the cabin has modern equipment, convenient settings - everything is thought out for a person.True, it is important not only to be able to use new opportunities, but also to strictly adhere to the technology.From my own experience I can say: corn grew decently this year.The weather was favorable, the autumn was relatively dry, so the stems were tall and strong, they did not die, the precipitation did not damage them, and the cobs formed large.An experienced machine operator knows all types of work very well and has been accustomed to working on the land since childhood: his parents also worked on the farm, and his younger brother has been working as a driver in the same agricultural enterprise for over 25 years.Until late in the evening, an experienced colleague Svyatoslav Reket, who has been devoted to farming for a quarter of a century, works next to Anatoly. I inherited the love of technology from my father, shared Svyatoslav.-- I always like to be behind the wheel, to see the beauty of Belarusian fields.And my mission is no less responsible and important: to promptly transport the grain for unloading, so that the combines do not stand idle and the harvesting proceeds without delays.On average, I make six to seven trips a day. Chief agronomist Oleg Perevodchikov notes that the corn yield this year was encouraging (especially for silage - 550 centners per circle):
-- The resulting grain is sent to the Skidelsky agricultural complex, where feed is produced.A juicy harvest is also produced by ivy: this way the food is better absorbed by the animals, which has a positive effect on milk yield.Our agricultural enterprise has three dairy complexes and one farm, for which it is necessary to supply a sufficient amount of feed.This year we plan to collect about 8 thousand tons of corn for grain.
