In the Novosibirsk region this year, a record crop of grain was collected - local farmers on the call of officials planted all the free areas with wheat, but in the fall it turned out that there was simply nowhere to put it.

There is nowhere to put him.
Tons of grain in the village of Tselinin in the Kochenevsky district rot in the open air. Farmers wanted to help out 10 million rubles for wheat, but now there is nothing to pay even seasonal workers. The economy itself is on the verge of bankruptcy. Oddly enough, a rich crop led to the ruin of farmers: in the spring, sown areas were increased here in order to get money for spare parts and fuel for equipment from the regional budget.
“We did not grow this grain spontaneously,” Dmitry explains. - We were told: you guys must grow. Reduce the area - you will not get anything from the state. Well, they sowed everything that was. Even more. We plowed all the gardens around.
This year, almost one and a half times more wheat was collected in the Novosibirsk Region than planned. As a result, products for products collapsed to 6-7 thousand per ton, which is about 30 percent lower than the average market. The peasants do not know where to put the crop: there is nowhere to store it, elevators and bread receivers are clogged , including last year's grain. An attempt by officials to stimulate the agricultural sector turned into losses for the villagers.
- State support for all peasants of the Novosibirsk Region is a little more than 4 billion rubles, and losses from the fall in prices and from the collapse of the price of tens of billions are calculated. Please tell me, is it support or a footboard? Of course, the footboard, ”said Anatoly Stepanov, Chairman of the Association of Leaders of Agricultural Entities of the Novosibirsk Region.

Officials answer about the claims of farmers: they helped to sow and harvest, but did not promise to sell it.
- When we produce, we must know where we will sell. But to sit and say: I made a king here - time has gone, ”said Vasily Pronkin , Minister of Agriculture of the Novosibirsk Region. - In the 38th year, Carnegie said: do not trade what you produce. It is necessary to produce what you can sell.
Many farmers hoped to sell wheat to the state reserve. But the federal authorities have not yet announced the conduct of grain interventions.
Vladimir Belyavsky , Chairman of the Council of Farmers of the Okdynsky District of the Novosibirsk Region:
- Due to the fact that the grain of the intervention fund is not exported and lies. The grain was raw this year. Elevators are stuck in raw grain, dry it and stop acceptance.
Regional deputies asked the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rosselkhozbank to conduct state procurement of grain and subsidize tariffs for its transportation by rail. If this does not happen in the next two weeks, most of the crop will rot. In the coming days, a sharp cooling and snowfall promise in the region .
According to the Minister of Agriculture of the Novosibirsk Region Vasily Pronkin, next week a special meeting of the operational headquarters of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation will consider the transportation and implementation of grain crop from the Novosibirsk region.
