A seminar - meeting on harvest formation issues was held in Arsk district
Today, a zonal seminar - meeting on the organization of harvesting work, sowing winter crops, primary tillage and seeding for next year's harvest was held at the base of Agrofirm Igenche LLC in Arsk district. It was attended by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan - Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Zyabbarov, Deputy Minister Dmitry Yashin, heads of agro-industrial enterprises and agricultural producers of the Republic of Tatarstan, heads of departments of agriculture and food of the Republic of Tatarstan, consultants on agriculture and mechanization from 11 municipal districts.
Marat Zyabbarov noted that harvesting work is already underway in 27 districts of the Republic of Tatarstan. To date, 63 thousand tons of grain have been threshed with an average yield of 35 c/ha.
In total, 1 million 332 thousand hectares of grain crops, 35 thousand hectares of corn, 482 thousand hectares of oilseeds need to be threshed. Sugar beet will need to be collected from an area of 55 thousand hectares, potatoes - 4.3 thousand hectares, vegetables - 1.9 thousand hectares, corn for silage - 161 thousand hectares.
"As for the main soil cultivation, I will also note that it is necessary to organize it as much as possible in parallel with the harvest. In recent years, the main accumulation of productive moisture occurs in the autumn-winter period. Therefore, deepening the arable soil layer for us is the main technological element that allows us to make a reserve for the future harvest," said Marat Zyabbarov.
Then the minister visited JSC Arsky Elevator, where a ceremonial acceptance of the first grain harvest of the current year was held. The elevator workers showed that everything is at a high level of readiness for grain processing. The elevator's capacity allows for the simultaneous storage of over 72.5 thousand tons of various grain crops. Currently, Arsky Elevator JSC provides a full range of grain processing services, from accepting grain for storage to flour production.
Also, as part of Marat Zyabbarov's working visit to the Arsky District, a feed mill was launched at Vozrozhdenie Agrofirma LLC. The enterprise grows grain, leguminous and industrial crops, and produces meat and milk. To comply with sanitary and hygienic requirements, the plant has sanitary checkpoints, which were inspected by the Minister of Agriculture and Food.
The next seminar will be held on July 23 of this year at the Saydashev Agricultural Enterprise LLC in the Tukaevsky District of the Republic of Tatarstan.
