From each farm – maximum production

During the grazing period, the board of the Department of Agriculture and Food and the district committee of the Agro-Industrial Complex Workers' Trade Union will organize a competition among dairy farms and milking machine operators for milk production and sales. The results will be summarized by ten-day periods, and winners will be awarded prizes and gifts.
Criteria for identifying winners among dairy farm teams include: the number of assigned milking herd heads, gross milk production compared to the 2012 level, average milk yield per cow compared to the previous year's level, quality of sold milk (Extra grade, not less than 60%), and marketability (not less than 85%). Criteria for identifying winners among milking machine operators include: the number of assigned group heads, gross milk yield compared to the 2012 level, and average milk yield per cow relative to the previous year.
Winners of the competition among dairy farms will be awarded 600,000 rubles, and among milking machine operators – 300,000 rubles. Awarding is funded by the farms themselves.
A similar competition is recommended to be organized in other farms.
