OAO Svyataya Volya is one of the oldest agricultural enterprises in the Ivacevichsky District. Over seven decades, the farm has progressed from a small collective association to a modern agro-industrial enterprise, while retaining the most important – a connection to the land and respect for the labor of those who work it.
Traditions and Efficiency
The main activity of OAO Svyataya Volya is the production of livestock and crop products, and these two sectors account for up to 98% of the company's total revenue. The dairy herd, consisting of high-yielding breeds, provides a stable income, while grain and fodder crops grown on the company's own fields ensure a solid feed base. This structure enables the farm not only to meet its internal needs but also to supply high-quality products to the region's processing enterprises. In recent years, significant attention has been paid to modernization: the tractor and machinery fleet is being updated, resource-saving soil processing technologies are being introduced, and animal husbandry conditions are being improved. All these measures are aimed at increasing profitability and the sustainability of production in a volatile market. Historical continuity is reinforced by systematic work with personnel: many employees have worked here for decades, passing on their experience to young specialists. Thus, OAO Svyataya Volya remains a reliable link in the region's agro-industrial complex, combining fidelity to tradition with a drive for modern efficiency standards.
– The farm has 10,173 hectares of agricultural land, of which 5,573 are arable. The most popular and developed crops are grains, winter rapeseed, and corn, says chief agronomist of OAO Svyataya Volya Yevgeny Zyshchik. – This year we will harvest 90 hectares of potatoes, and 700 hectares of winter rapeseed are ready for harvest. The grain area amounted to 3,302 hectares, of which 1,000 hectares were spring wheat and 2,302 hectares were winter crops.
– Working on the land is our family tradition, and we take pride in continuing it, says the eldest brother Alexander. – I came into agriculture right after finishing school and have been working here for 15 years: summer at the combine operator's wheel, spring and autumn managing the tractor. My brother is also a mechanizer. A family crew means mutual support and responsibility, but most importantly, coordination. We understand each other even without words. One gesture, one glance — and the needed key is already in your hands. This summer's weather dictated its own conditions, but we tried to make the most of every pleasant day, every hour, to gather the harvest without loss. In a family crew, no one will say "This isn't my job" or "I'm tired." Here everything is shared: responsibility, success, and fatigue. Grain harvesting is behind us, and today we and my brother are working on different fields, performing different tasks. I am on potato harvesting, Dmitry is on plowing. If things work out, next year we'll be back in the same crew and try to thresh more grain.
The worthy contribution of the Pushilo brothers to the household's bale. Their example inspires other workers at JSC "Svyataya Volya" and demonstrates that family traditions and devotion to their work can bring impressive results.
Master of his craft At JSC "Svyataya Volya," Evgeny Abramchuk is a person known and respected. He came to the enterprise in 2018 and from the very first days established himself as a responsible and knowledgeable specialist. Today he is rightly called one of the best mechanizers at the enterprise.
Love for technology has been present in Evgeny since childhood: he mastered tractor operation during school at the UPK.
– I like this process: driving through the fields, sowing, mowing, – says the mechanizer. – This profession I would never trade. To be successful in our business, one must not only know how to turn the steering wheel, but truly love machinery and feel it.
Evgeny is among those masters who know their "Belarus-3522" tractor inside and out. He does not wait for help from others, preferring to service and repair his assigned machine independently. His attitude toward the tractor is special: he values it for its reliability, clear design, excellent hydraulics, and availability of spare parts. The only thing, according to Evgeny, that would make the work in the cab ideal is installing a more advanced climate control system.
The mechanic's schedule is tight, because field work does not tolerate pauses. In spring he is busy sowing grain and corn, in summer he switches to preparing silage, and in autumn he again goes out for plowing and planting. The management of Svyataya Volya holds Yevgeny up as an example, knowing that such a specialist can be relied upon in any situation.
