The primary responsibility, of course, falls to the mechanizers who work professionally and with full dedication in the fields.

Among those working in this challenging field is Nikolai Tikhonenko from the KSUH "Sovkhoz Zarya." He has been at the helm of a combine harvester for many years, and his experience is comparable to that of younger workers: the machine is at his fingertips, as if it continues a line established decades ago. This year, his skilled hands were entrusted with operating new equipment—the FS80 PRO—and it performed admirably.

Nikolai Vasilyevich has been working on the farm since 1990 and is well-respected by his colleagues.

After the district competitions, the farmer took second place in feed preparation. Over the season, he harvested 12,659 tons of grass feed, converted to green mass per one conditional feed harvesting combine harvester. This is undoubtedly a result worthy of respect and recognition. """
