Often, when you read about victories in harvest campaigns, you picture the leader as a person seasoned by life and professional experience. Vadim Borichevsky, a young driver at OAO "Bakunovo" (Ivanovsky district), completely shatters that established stereotype.

In this year's harvest season, 22-year-old Vadim Sergeevich surprised many by finding himself among the winners of the regional competition among young vehicle drivers. But perhaps the main thing is that he once again understood a simple truth: you have to try, and then everything will work out. A similar situation, one that required him to marshal his efforts, came after he finished the ninth grade at secondary school No. 4 in the city of Ivanovo. At that time, Vadim chose to become a mechanic. He gained the necessary knowledge and skills at the Pinsk Agrarian and Technical College. Now he has reached a new milestone in his life: he is a second-year correspondence student at the Belarusian State Agrarian and Technical University in Minsk. And although the next exam session is just around the corner, today we are talking with Vadim Sergeevich about something else — his labor feats during the 2026 harvest.

"This year's harvest is the first in my life. I was offered to work on hauling grain for the harvest period, and I agreed. It was unexpected and pleasant that everything worked out, especially since I didn't start working from the very beginning," said Vadim Borichevsky.

However, this did not stop the newcomer, who had previously worked at OAO "Bakunovo" as a mechanic-driver, from finishing among the prize-winners in the on-farm competition among drivers involved in hauling the gold of the fields. This time, the leader was experienced driver Sergey Pavelchuk. It is likely that Vadim Borichevsky will emulate him and other capable machine operators in the future, when he receives an offer to get behind the wheel again during a period that is hot in both the literal and figurative sense. The young leading worker, who has recently been in charge of the workshops, does not hide it: there is definitely an incentive to make the switch.

"The management of the agricultural enterprise financially rewards the work efforts of its employees. For me, as probably for many young people, this is strong motivation," Vadim asserts.

The director of the agricultural enterprise OAO "Bakunovo", Yuri Dyadyuk, sees great potential in Vadim Borichevsky and, as with other promising personnel, pins his hopes on him for new victories of this farm, which he has been leading for the fourth year.
