The most important condition for winter readiness is the availability of fodder for livestock. Agricultural enterprises of Lepel region have 13,393 conventional heads of livestock.

For the winter, 42,872 tons of fodder units need to be stored, including hay, straw, haylage, silage, concentrates, etc. Due to the rainy summer, it was not possible to dry much hay; 2,412 tons were harvested. However, the shortage of this type of fodder is compensated by others. Thus, almost 6.9 thousand tons of haylage have been stored, which is 300 tons more than planned.

There are good prospects for the corn harvest; in some farms, the crop yields more than 300 centners of green mass per hectare.
