After the winter break, it’s time to get ready for spring sowing. Farmers have a lot to deal with during this period: preparing the soil, choosing and preparing equipment, seeds, and micro-fertilizers.
The company «ASTRA» has prepared a lot of interesting events for you this spring to help make the sowing campaign even more efficient.
