Overview

Noted for the fertility of its soil, this region hosts some mega-farms. Tammo looked at four principal activities: the end of the sunflower harvest; stubble cultivation, drilling wheat and the start of the beet harvest. He also visited a state-of-the-art dairy farm. John Deere machines are prominent and working with Vaderstad equipment. There were JD9630, 9530, 8430, 8420 and 8330 tractors. Another powerful beast is the Kirovets K744. The sunflower harvest was handled by Don harvesters, an Acros 560, NH TC56, Claas Lexion 530s and NH CX8070. Among the machines used for the sugar beet harvest were Holmer Terra Dos and Ropa Tiger 83. Russia is striving to become more self-sufficient in agricultural production and foodstuffs. This DVD gives an insight into how mechanization is serving this end and of the obstacles which still have to be overcome.
