For peas today, the yield is with 3.6 c / ha, or 27.5 c / ha more than last year.

“In general, all the districts are set to clean up, but at the start, the districts worked differently. For greater objectivity, I will give the rate of harvesting in 4 climatic zones, ”the minister said.

There are 8 municipal districts in the Predvolzhskaya zone. Among them, the highest rate was in Buinsky district - 25% of grain was harvested with an average yield of 40.6 c / ha, Drozhzhanovsky - 21%, yield - 38.6 c / ha, Apastovsky - 20%, yield - 34.6 c / ha, Verkhne-Uslonsky and Kamsko-Ustinsky districts harvested only 11% of crops each.

“For objective reasons, our northern regions will start mass cleaning next week. At the same time, several agricultural enterprises have not yet completed the repair of their combines. I ask the heads of these farms to take exhaustive measures”, said Marat Zyabbarov.

To accelerate the pace, you should use the services of elevators, said the head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan. The grain drying complexes of these enterprises are capable of drying more than 90 thousand tons of grain per day (3.9 thousand tons per hour). All of them are ready to receive grain from the new harvest. “Highly productive work at all sections of the harvesting conveyor largely depends on the successful application of employee incentive methods. This year, we are announcing a republican competition of combine operators for a grant from the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, 200 prizes of 100 thousand rubles each have been established. I ask the districts to objectively keep records of the work of combines and provide information to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan in a timely manner, ”the minister said.

Marat Zyabbarov reported on the African swine fever (ASF) situation. According to him, the situation in the Russian Federation remains tense.

Today, there are 30 outbreaks of quarantine for ASF, including 15 cases in the Samara region, 3 in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Of particular concern are outbreaks in the Samara region, since they are at a distance of about 100 kilometers from the Cheremshansk and Nurlatskiy regions.

Marat Zyabbarov noted that the main reasons for the spread in the Samara region are the neglect of ASF prevention measures by pig owners and the circulation of the virus among wild boars.

According to him, the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan on biological resources must strictly monitor the number of wild boars and take all measures to prevent the migration of wild boars from problematic regions of Russia.
