A farmer from Donetsk region was engaged in agriculture for 20 years, and now, due to the escalation of hostilities, he is closing his business. Suspilne writes about it.

Farmer Volodymyr from the village of Krutiy Yar in Donetsk region was engaged in farming together with his father for about 20 years. Has two tractors and a harvester. At the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, he took out agricultural machinery from Donetsk to save it.

"Trawlers, combine harvesters, tractors were driven to the Dnipropetrovsk region under their own power. We took her out for half a year. It stood for half a year, and then they brought it back because the season had started," Volodymyr said.

Previously, the farmer sowed wheat, sunflower and barley. It has about 50 hectares of land under sowing. This year, he says, only winter wheat was sown.

"We stopped farming this year. There were two shares and another 20 hectares under lease. It just stopped and that was it. We did not make any special investments this year. Wheat was sown, but we had our own wheat. Take out the trawl - all the money was thrown away, nothing was invested there. There are a few sunflowers left, 12 tons of barley. If no one takes it, it will lie like that," said the farmer.

According to Volodymyr, the record harvest for the season was about one hundred tons. After the Russian invasion, volumes were halved. It became more difficult to sell and transport products.

 

The farmer also said that enemy ammunition fell on his field last year and is still lying there. The farmer sees no prospects for farming in Donbas, so he plans to move to a safer region.
