Spring sowing campaign of the "Zorya" cluster

Timely spring sowing campaign - an opportunity to achieve desired crop yields. This year's spring sowing is challenging for farmers: the war in Ukraine, late harvesting of last year's crop, and weather conditions. However, despite all the difficulties, thanks to a well-thought-out agronomic approach and the use of modern equipment, the agrarians of the "Zorya" cluster managed to adapt the technological map, optimize certain production processes, and start sowing spring crops on time.

For spring sowing, the cluster has allocated a little over 15,000 hectares of total area. In the second decade of April, they started sowing sunflowers. Five seeders took to the fields, performing urea application, pre-sowing cultivation, and seed sowing in a single process. The agrarians worked 24/7 and finished according to the planned schedule, which pleases us greatly.

Parallel to sunflower sowing, they sowed soybeans, corn, and buckwheat. In total, 10 different types of seeders (continuous sowing, row seeders, and precision farming seeders) worked in the fields.

According to the agronomic planning and favorable weather conditions, we are finishing the sowing campaign on May 15th. Currently, we are working on sowing over 500 hectares of corn (a certain part of which will go for silage to fulfill the order of the dairy farm in Bilev village) and several thousand hectares of soybeans.

Despite today's challenging conditions, we do not stop, working for the development of the country, believing that we will harvest a good crop, believing in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Victory!
