The investment under the project proposal includes a tractor, a front loader, a straw baler and a fertilizer trailer for the goat farm and pastures of Yulian Chilikov. As of 13.08.2021 The farmer raises 291 goats, of which 286 are mother goats, according to a reference for animals in a site by categories issued by the BFSA and manages 800 decares. pastures for animal husbandry. The investments in the project will modernize the farm, will facilitate the way of work and will reduce some of the current costs included in the cost. In particular - the farm has 1 old tractor, which is depreciated, burns a lot and breaks often, in addition, there are no conveniences for the operator, which makes it difficult to find labor and the owner is forced to work alone and can not grow the business. The new tractor is significantly more comfortable to work with, and also burns less, which saves costs. With regard to the front loader, at the moment the farm does not have one and many activities are done manually. There is no straw baler on the farm, which is why the beneficiary is dependent on external services. The straw baler will make about 600 bales of hay a year, mowing twice a year. According to the capacity of the machine and the load of the operator, it is planned to make 150 bales per day or at least 4 days a year. There is no fertilizer trailer and he is forced to give free cake from the farm to others. farmers to transport the accumulated manure to the farm. With the fertilizer spreader trailer he will be able to fertilize the pastures he manages and increase the yield of hay for the winter and summer grazing of the goats. The selected trailer has a capacity of about 100 decares / day. Tori is used once a year. With this capacity pastures 800 decares. will be fertilized for 8 - 10 days
