The 2019 is declared the year of support for the development of personal subsidiary farms in Tukayevsky district.
This year has been declared the year of support for the development of personal subsidiary farms. There is a commission working in the region to assist farmers in obtaining government subsidies. It is designed to help rural entrepreneurs with preparing the necessary documents, to provide legal assistance.
The commission is headed by first deputy executive committee of the region, Ilmir Yabbarov. The group includes specialists from the Department of Agriculture and Foodstuffs, departments of economics, construction, architecture and life support of the population.
The most acceptable program for rural residents who have a large number of dairy cows on their farm is the program for the construction of mini-farms. The recipients of the subsidy may be those who wish to renew the sheds for livestock, as well as those who have already updated them expecting the increase of number of dairy cows. Since 2019 this type of subsidy has increased. For example, the state returns 400 thousand rubles for building a farm designed for 8 heads, and 200 thousand rubles for building a farm for 5 heads. “Today there are people who wish to participate in this program,” says Ilmir Yabbarov.
Ravil Yarullin, living in the village of Biklyan, owns 11 heads of cattle in his personal compound. 8 of them are dairy cows. The daily gross milk yield is 60 liters. The farmer sells his own agricultural products in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny. He has his regular customers. His wife Jamila makes sour cream, cottage cheese and even yogurt out of milk. “The villagers love and buy our products,” says the farmer.
All 8 cows of Jamila Yarullina were milked by hand. Since childhood, accustomed to work, she does not complain. “Each cow takes only 15 minutes,” she says. Not so long ago, the farmer's family purchased a milking machine by the 40x60 program. This greatly facilitated their work.
The farmer buys the feed for his livestock, but he has a desire to lease the share land and cultivate it. But there is a need of some machinery and a large barn.
- During four years of work, I have never participated in programs. Honestly, I was frightened by walking around to different instances, waiting in line, collecting documents. I have no time to waste. Even this year, we wanted to take a loan from a bank. But we learned about a special commission working in the region. And we are going to use the state aid. We often call up with specialists of the administration. We are grateful that we, the villagers, get so much attention. “When there are people ready to give a hand, work and life becomes much easier,” the farmer admits.
