Solar water heaters are used on the one of Almetyevsk farms
The peasant farms of Slesarevs received a 1 million rubles grant from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan in 2018 under the Family Livestock Farm program.
The Slesarevs' family farm is a vivid example of the fact that you can earn money in the countryside. Today, in addition to raising cattle and poultry, farmers prepare feed for their pets, and also sell milk and chicken eggs. Modern equipment was bought, all buildings of the farm were repaired. There is a milk processing complex. All this took a considerable amount of money, and receiving a grant became a financial boost for the further development of the farm.
“9 years ago there was an abandoned pig farm here. Over the years, the farm has been transformed. Today there are more than 100 heads of cattle, 500 chickens, 100 broilers and more than 60 geese, ”says Guzel Slesareva.
“Using the grant, we purchased a seeding complex, a harrow complex, and a grain conditioner,” says the head of the farm Guzel Slesareva.
The growing concern on the farm is increasing every day. Today milkmaids, cattle breeders, and a cook work here. They live right at the farm. Especially for them, the owners have built a spacious house with all amenities, including a shower and a bath. They all live as one big "farm" family, work and spend holidays together.
In 2018, solar water heaters were purchased for the farm. They include: solar collector, pumps, controller, expansion tank, accumulator tank with 1 or 2 heat exchangers and insulated piping. The equipment is used to heat water on the farm. This saves electricity.
The same equipment is planned to be purchased at OOO AF Vozrozhdenie, Arsk District, and Bugulma Dairy Plant.
