- Not a single sowing season, and I have been working for 50 years, is not the same. This year, the spring was very protracted, but again we were among the first in the region to go to the fields, – said Nikolai Lapin, General Director of Rodina Breeding Plant LLC. – I will reveal a secret: you have to work with the land. It is not so easy to grow a crop, but it still needs to be taken out. We made a whole network of roads, having invested 150 million rubles over 5 years. And this means that the equipment will arrive faster and bring the harvest from the field.
