Combine harvester operator Gennady Ankudovich from Postavy district was the first in the Vitebsk region to thresh a thousand tons of grain
Gennady Ankudovich, a combine operator at Novosyolki-Luchai OJSC in Postavy District, was the first in the Vitebsk region to thresh a thousand tons of grain. Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Alexander Subbotin, Chairman of the District Executive Committee Sergey Chepik, Chairperson of the Regional Committee of the Agro-Industrial Complex Workers' Trade Union Tatyana Dikanova, Chairpersons of the District Trade Union Association and the District Committee of the Agro-Industrial Complex Workers' Trade Union Inna Daledskaya and Vasily Kotovich, and Director of OJSC Yury Shimchik congratulated him on his success. The leaders of the region and the district wished the leading machine operator new labor achievements and, of course, were interested in how he managed to achieve such a high threshing yield. After all, all ten of his comrades are also experienced combine operators, and it is probably not easy to surpass them.
- The equipment is good, the yield is also good, the rest depends on one's own ability to organize their work, - noted Gennady Ankudovich.
Gennady Ankudovich is not a native of Postavy. He moved to the district about five years ago. He started working at the leading farm, Novosyolki-Luchai OJSC, and from the first day showed that a professional had joined the team. No matter which section he was assigned to, he always performed his work excellently. It is not surprising that last year he was entrusted with the latest combine model KZS-2124. There are not many such machines in the republic, which are packed with electronics and equipped with a 9-meter header.
In his first year working with this machine, Gennady showed a high result – he was the second thousand-ton thresher in the region and the first two-thousand-ton thresher. And this year, he was the first to thresh a thousand tons of grain. He harvested winter barley, winter rapeseed, and is now threshing winter wheat fields. On average across the farm, this crop yielded almost 33 centners of grain per hectare as of July 22. But the field where the combine operator was congratulated for his high threshing yield also pleased the farmer. On this 50-hectare plot, winter wheat yielded 40 centners per round. Thus, the field thanked the agronomist for caring for it and the cultivated crops.
The weather conditions this spring spoiled the mood of the grain growers. Many fields in Postavy region were flooded, and there was a threat of plant death. Therefore, a yield of 40 centners from them is pleasing to the farmers. Those that were not affected by waterlogging promise a higher yield.
