The combine harvesters were about to work at full strength profiting from sunny days, but the rains started again. Despite this, the head of the Sarmanovsky region Farit Khusnullin, the head of the district department of agriculture and food Albert Sharipov, decided not to postpone the planned event, and went to the farmers to present awards to the winners of the next five-day competition organized among machine operators.
Rafis Nuriakhmetov, a machine operator at the Sarman agricultural firm, won the championship among those working on a combine with a header with a working width of nine meters. Last year he was among the best combine harvesters in the republic and this year for five days he harvested 4,378 centners of grain on a Lexion-540 combine. Damir Gaynullin from the same agricultural company with an indicator of 4036 centners took the second place, Daniyar Kalimullin with an indicator of 3029 centners - the third place. In 2018, he also received a republican prize.
In the second group, the championship among combine harvesters operating a combine harvester with a 7-7.5 meter reaper is won by Marat Kamalov, combine harvester at the Nurkeevo agricultural company, who has threshed 4513 centners of grain in five days. The second and third places were awarded by combine harvesters of the same agricultural company Fanis Gizdatullin (3581 centners) and Fanis Garipov (3579 centners). Salman Shakirov from the Nurkeevo agricultural firm took the first place in packing bread in rolls, and Marcel Salakhiev took second place. Fanis Gizdatullin, Fanis Garipov and Salman Shakirov are some of the best in their area and last year their work was appreciated at the national level.
During harvesting, combine operators work without weekends. Rains gave them the opportunity to take a breath and check the technique. And with the onset of fine days, they will again go to the field. Combiners such as Damir Gainullin, Marat Kamalov, Rinat Sagdatov, who have threshed more than 20 thousand centners of grain since the beginning of harvesting, may well count on republican bonuses. In addition, last year they were already able to become one of the best combine operators in Tatarstan.
According to operational data, the Sarmanovsky district has already threshed 25.4 thousand hectares, which is 58% of the total area. 102.1 thousand tons of grain were threshed, and the yield is 40.1 centners per hectare.
