“As soon as we have transported hay from fields to farm venues, we will start making haylage from annual grasses”, - says the farmer.

Ramil Gimatdinov’s sons – Gamil and Kamil – help him on the farm. There is also machinery and equipment on the farm necessary for cultivation of grains and forage crops.
