It was in the corner tower of the castle that all important events of the then Vitebsk were held.
Alexander Subbotin attributed the awardees to the category of workers who are called the salt of the earth and the pride of the Vitebsk region.
For example, Sergey Chepik's organizational skills made it possible to ensure the fulfillment of the main indicators of socio-economic development of the Postavy district. The head pays great attention to strengthening the material and technical base of the farms. Ambitious plans for production development have been defined.
The year was productive for Mikhail Gumnenkov, who has been heading "Shaiterovo" for 17 years. The yield of grain and leguminous crops was almost 50 c/ha, and rapeseed – about 30 c/ha, which is an excellent result for the Vitebsk region. The agricultural enterprise increased revenue from sales, net profit, and sales profitability. Special attention is paid to labor motivation and the social sphere.
Largely thanks to the efforts of Tatyana Kapranova, over 440 centners of potatoes per hectare were harvested at the Tolochin Cannery. This result made a significant contribution to the overall yield, allowing Vitebsk region to achieve the highest potato yield in the country.
Alexander Komarov, together with his assistant Alexander Skleznov, threshed almost 5.7 thousand tons of grain and rapeseed, which is an exceptional result even for the more grain-producing regions of Belarus.
SPK "Larinovka" remains the undisputed leader in the region for grain and leguminous crop yields. A significant part of this success is attributed to the chief agronomist Alexander Kaplun, who has headed the farm's service for over 20 years. Additionally, feed units for the stall period have been prepared 17% more than last year. "Larinovka" is a jewel of the Vitebsk region's agro-industrial complex, particularly in dairy farming.
Under the leadership of Petr Bezubyonok, for 16 years, the region's farms have been supplied with spare parts for agricultural machinery, and control over their repair has been carried out.
Mikhail Gumnenkov spoke on behalf of the awardees. He thanked the management for recognizing his work and expressed confidence that the team of OAO "Shaiterovo" will keep pace to improve both production and economic indicators.
