Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan - Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Zyabbarov reported on the progress of harvesting today at a meeting in the Government House of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The meeting was chaired by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and attended by RT Prime Minister Alexey Pesoshin.
According to Marat Zyabbarov, the entire complex of harvesting operations is to be carried out on an area of more than 1.8 million hectares, including grain and leguminous crops on an area of 1 million 550 thousand hectares.
In the republic, 25 regions have begun harvesting. The first 30 thousand hectares were harvested, 120 thousand tons were threshed with an average yield of 40 c / ha.
Procurement of fodder from feed mixtures and the second cut of perennial grasses continues. 2.8 million tons of haylage are procured, 455 thousand tons of hay; 20.4 centners of feed units per conditional head is 68% of the required amount.
According to the minister, there are all conditions for a timely harvesting campaign. 3.5 thousand grain harvesters will be involved, including about 2 thousand high-performing machines; 1200 self-propelled and roller mowers; 4200 trucks.
Most of the combine harvesters are highly productive, including foreign brands, which make up a third of the combine fleet.
Marat Zyabbarov specified that the harvester fleet is worn out, 64% is operated beyond the amortization period. At the same time, the combine park is renewed annually by only 2-3% (instead of the optimal 10-12%).
In addition, agricultural producers additionally attract more than 200 units from the republic and other regions.
“It is necessary to work out in advance the issues of attracting additional trucks and combines, to make contracts in time. In the republic, 18 mechanized brigades provide services for harvesting grain, ”said the head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The daily potential of grain harvesters, after all regions reach the optimum mode, allows to thresh 58 thousand hectares daily and complete the harvesting of grain in 30-35 days. The load on one conventional grain harvester in the republic is 413 hectares.
Last week, grain harvester parades were held in all farms of the republic, and special attention was paid to the quality of preparation, compliance with labor safety requirements.
The readiness of all components of the harvesting complex was also assessed - this is the presence of mobile repair teams, the labor protection and fire safety conditions, wages and measures to stimulate harvesting.
We have prepared high-quality grain harvesters in Aktanyshsky, Atninsky, Arsky, Baltasinsky, Drozhzhanovsky, Zainsky, Nurlatsky, Sabinsky, Sarmanovsky, Tukaevsky districts.
Also, prizes of the heads of districts in the Almetyevsky and Leninogorsky districts were awarded for the best preparation of equipment. In addition, in Verkhne-Uslonsky, Kamsko-Ustinsky and other districts, during the competition, the honoring of machine operators was held.
“We daily monitor the condition of the entire harvester park, and during the harvesting period, use their potential,” said Marat Zyabbarov.
I ask the heads of farms to actively start harvesting without waiting for the standard humidity, as well as to use the services of grain-receiving enterprises and elevators. They are ready to receive the new harvest. "
