Without qualified machine operators it is impossible to procure high-quality feed. Given the importance and severity of the shortage of machine operators, the Arsk Agro-Industrial Professional College, a state autonomous professional educational institution, organized refresher courses for machine operators in categories D and F.

Due to the work being done for the technical re-equipment of the agro-industrial complex, the number of highly productive agricultural equipment is increasing annually in the region. Meanwhile, there is still not enough personnel which has access to control energy-saturated tractors, grain and forage harvesters in Arsky district. Modern equipment is more complicated to manage and maintain and it requires a high level of training from machine operators. Therefore, continuing education courses for tractor drivers are really necessary.

The retraining exam, held on June 4 at the Arsk Agro-Industrial Professional College, showed good results - 22 tractor drivers received certificates. We can say that retrained machine operators will not fail during the harvesting campaign.
