Agritechnica looks ahead with confidence

The Agritechnica international dedicated exhibition is a meeting place for all representatives of the global farming business. That's where the main trends in the development of agriculture are mapped out for years to come. For the guests, this is a step into the future, a chance to learn the current trends in farming and pick up info about the latest developments in agricultural engineering. 

AgroCentre made this step along with its customers by participating for the first time in the international exhibition. The agenda was quite intense. The guests familiarized themselves with the latest products just turned out from the assembly shop and attended 25 exhibition sites of the leading manufacturers of agricultural equipment. 
The stand of the Swedish concern Vaderstad was the starting point of the familiarization tour. The spotlight was on the Seed Hawk seeder employing a No-till technique. At the presentation, Partner LLC from the Altai Territory, an old-standing customer of AgroCentre, shared its expertise. 
“Operating in the drought of the past year, this seeder passed the tests with flying colours,” says Nikolay Rudev, chief agronomist of the farm. “We were testing it side by side with another famous seeder. The Seed Hawk won. Its sprouts were unusually strong even under the droughty conditions, and the grain yield was also good. As for this year's crop yield, it's just excellent, 4.2 tonnes per hectare.”

AgroCentre customers attended the stand of AGCO Machinery with their sights set on self-propelled equipment for next season. The powerful tracked caterpillar of the MT700C and MT800C series caught the fancy of many. Another self-propelled machine, the RoGator 1396 sprayer, is good for large farms. Its chief advantage is the ability to handle dry and fluid compounds. The sprayer wheels can be adjusted for the relevant crop from the cabin in seconds.
The visit to the Kverneland Group stand began with welcome news. Starting next year, the fodder procuring, sprinkling and seeding machines, which are most popular with the Russian farmers, will start being manufactured in Russia. 
The guests were introduced to the equipment of the year 2012. This included the Andex 774 high-performance rake and pneumatic DG seeder with a productivity of 140 hectares per day. The seeder owes its high efficiency to the new operating width of 12 m.
Ending their tour of Agritechnica, the members of the delegation thanked AgroCentre for the informative and interesting trip.
“The visit to AgroCentre was like a window into the future,” says Yelena Shama, Baigora LLC executive director. “It's hard to follow all the brands, innovations and new technologies. But at Agritechnica, they do their best to bring everything together in one place. Having attended the exhibition sites of AgroCentre's partners, we've seen the scale of its work. These are the largest manufacturers of agricultural equipment, many of which are decorated with exhibition medals for the best machines. All this inspires us to new efforts and cooperation with AgroCentre.”
