On 19 July 2012, in Katerynivka village, Veselynove district, Mykolaiv region, Astra Field Day took place, becoming a real platform for exchanging experience and promoting innovative technology. “Garant Agro” LLC (director Anatolii Hasiuk), which has been successfully cooperating with “Astra” for several years already, provided their fields for the modern equipment.
Speaking at the Field Day’s opening, ASA “Astra” LLC general director Vitalii Shumyshyn talked about the company’s main lines of business and the wide range of machinery, service and financial services that “Astra” has been providing Ukrainian agricultural producers for 14 years now.
Around two hundred farmers from across Ukraine saw at work and assessed the advantages of the machinery supplied by “Astra”. In particular, a combine harvester and several wheeled and tracked Challenger tractor models were demonstrated, along with Fendt tractors fitted with a Horsch disc harrow, cultivator and seed drill, the record-setting Gregoire Besson plough, Challenger and Berthoud self-propelled and trailed sprayers, the FraKomb soil-cultivation implement, and the Manitou telescopic loader – 24 units of machinery in total, plus service vehicles and spare parts. Everyone interested was able to get detailed information on the machinery’s specifications from “Astra” specialists.
The Field Day wrapped up with a reception with an interesting programme and a prize draw of valuable prizes.
