Harvest on household plots

In parallel with the harvest on the fields of agricultural organizations, the threshing of grain on the plots of villagers has begun. This year, 1919 plots with a total area of 459.6 hectares need to be threshed. On the one hand, this does not seem like much.

This year, 1919 plots with a total area of 459.6 hectares need to be threshed. On the one hand, this does not seem like much. However, the specifics must be taken into account. The most important thing is the contour of the plots. Villagers sow plots of 20-30 ares, rarely larger. There are also smaller plots. Naturally, it is very inconvenient for a large combine harvester to work on such plots. In this case, much more fuel is consumed per centner of grain threshed than when working on a large field.

First of all, combine harvesters of communal unitary enterprises (KUPs) created at rural executive committees will be involved. KUP "Agropomoshchnik", which operates in the Volosavitsky rural council, has a Don-1500 combine harvester. The equipment is old, of course, but the mechanic has put it in order. In the village of Staysk, there was one plot, and it has already been threshed. In the village of Veselovo, three out of four plots have been threshed, and the grain on one has not yet ripened. For the second day, the combine operator has been working in Novye Volosovichi. KUP "Svida" operates under the Slobodsky rural council. Several plots in Sviditsa have been threshed with a KZS-7 combine harvester, and they have moved to Sloboda.

OJSC "Drazhna" has a Lida-1300 combine harvester, but it does not have its own crops. It is used for threshing the gardens of its employees, as well as the residents of nearby villages. Marat Chuvilin from Chareyshchina and Alexander Ladik from Gubino own Yenisei-1200 combine harvesters. They will only be involved in threshing gardens.

Combine harvesters of agricultural organizations will primarily work on the principle of "first – collective farm, then – village". Only after the grain from large fields is harvested will they be used for gardens. However, again, let's consider the specifics. Agricultural enterprises are consolidated, and it is far to travel to some fields and villages, and it is unprofitable to move energy-intensive equipment several times. Therefore, in remote areas, after harvesting the fields, the combine harvesters will also thresh the village ares. For example, the lands around Demyashkovo and Khalimonovo are cultivated by OJSC "Ladna", and immediately after harvesting their grain, they will also thresh the village ares. OJSC "Ladasna" will also help villagers from Zadorie.

In Pyshnya, where there are no large agricultural enterprises, two farmers owned combine harvesters and last year they processed the plots of their fellow villagers. However, this year they sold their equipment. We are negotiating with the management of SFG "ValBiK", they have a Lida-1300 combine harvester, but they do not have their own grain sowing. We are also negotiating with the management of SFG "Azimka" to come to the rescue, as they have two combine harvesters. Once they have threshed their own hectares, they will also come to the village plots.

Specialists have calculated the costs and recommended a rate of six thousand rubles per hundred square meters for threshing. Agricultural enterprises may apply different, preferential rates for their employees and pensioners.
