On July 4, 2017, an Organic Field Day was held at PE «Agroecology».
«Agroecology» is Ukraine’s largest organic-farming enterprise, which has been producing organic products for 40 years now.
Location: Pokrovske village, Shyshaky district, Poltava region
Organic Field Day is a unique event where participants got to learn about a successful organic-farming system; the secrets of achieving a high-quality harvest; the crop varieties the enterprise grows; and the equipment that helps «Agroecology» achieve high yield figures.
The Organic Field Day program included a demonstration of the following equipment, supplied to the farm by the company «ASTRA»:
– the Gregoire Besson Big Chief disc harrow. The harrow is used after plowing or directly for pre-sowing soil preparation.
– the Manitou MLT 840 loader demonstrated loading organic fertilizers. This powerful machine has high strength and power that will help with everyday tasks on your farm.
– the Fliegl ASW 381 trailed spreader demonstrated compost application. Fliegl’s moving-front-wall systems are advanced, revolutionary systems for any vehicle, both in the field and on the road.
– the Horsch Tiger 5MT – incorporating organic fertilizers into the soil. The Tiger is also designed to incorporate significant volumes of crop residue in a single pass.
In addition, at the Organic Field Day you could see our new arrival – the Sampo Comia C12 grain combine. Finnish Sampo combines are reliable and easy to maintain.
Visitors had the opportunity not just to see the combine, but also to sign up for a demonstration of the combine on their own farm!
As part of the Organic Field Day program, «ASA «ASTRA» CEO Ihor Hubariev spoke about the successful cooperation with «Agroecology» (more than 10 years now) and thanked the organizers for the invitation to such a useful event.
