In the Brest region prepared three million tons of silo and plan to add another third

Unlike the usual green harvest takes longer, lasting from the second half of spring to mid-autumn. For farmers of Brest region this is a particularly important period, because grass feeds are the basis of the diet of cattle, and in terms of its productivity, the region confidently leads the country. Without a strong feed base, increasing the already high milk yields and gain is problematic. These days, farms are actively removing corn on silage and continue to replenish the reserves of hayage from perennial herbs.

In JSC "Plemzavod "Mukhavets" Brest district forage complex in the field from the morning. Director of the agricultural enterprise Alexander Kukharchuk offers to observe the work of the entire green conveyor, starting from the transformation of the combine of corn stems, leaves and cobs into a crushed juicy mass and ending with the trampling of the silo into a trench. Almost all the works involved brothers Suprunovichi – representatives of the famous labor dynasty of the breeding plant. Senior Vitaly at the wheel of the forage harvesting complex sets the tone for an important campaign, the average Vyacheslav at MTZ-82.1 participates in the transportation of green mass, the younger Alexei on the forklift Amkodor is engaged in tamping. “We came to the farm following the example of parents who worked here for many years,” says Vitaly Suprunovich. The family had nine children, almost all associated fate with agriculture. My experience in this industry exceeds three decades. I participate in the harvesting of fodder, in the summer - in the cleaning of straw. In the hands of several pieces of equipment, as well as the younger brothers.
