The 12th Open Russian Ploughing Championship ended in the Leningrad Region, bringing together 54 teams of machine operators from various regions of the country and abroad. Professionals representing both large agricultural holdings and small farms demonstrated their mastery of the plow. The Republic of Tatarstan sent two of its best machine operators to the competition: Irek Galiev from the Faizi Galiev Agricultural Production Cooperative in the Atninsky District and Eduard Minnigalin from Soyuz Agro LLC in the Aznakaevsky District.
The competition was held from August 2 to 10 and included an assessment of the quality of plowing, compliance with technology, and the speed of work. Participants competed on modern agricultural machinery, demonstrating the latest achievements in the field of agriculture. An experienced panel of judges carefully assessed each section, determining the winners in various nominations.
Irek Galiev, who won 2nd place in the prestigious Grand Prix nomination among the winners of the last three years, achieved particular success. His skill and many years of experience allowed him to demonstrate the highest class and outperform his competitors. Irek Galiev's victory is a well-deserved result of his hard work and dedication to the profession.
"The participation of Tatarstan machine operators in the championship was an important event for the republic's agro-industrial complex. This allowed us not only to demonstrate a high level of training of specialists, but also to exchange experience with colleagues from other regions, as well as to get acquainted with new technologies in the field of agriculture," said Rafael Fattakhov, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan.
