In East Kazakhstan region, farmers introduce autopilot for arable landSpring has confidently come into its own, and the farmers of the Samar region are already actively preparing the land for the sowing campaign. At the same time, farms do not just carry out seasonal work, but introduce modern technologies with care for their employees.This year, the Amirgali farm, located in the Akkala rural district, is being plowed using autopilot. The tractor moves automatically, and the mechanic only controls the process.- This year, together with the head of the farm, Adlet Rapekov Amirgalievich, we have completely revised the development priorities. The main value was put in the first place — people and systematic work. We have been studying autopilot and navigation systems for a long time, and we have looked at the experience of other farms. But it was important for us not just to purchase equipment, but to choose a reliable partner with high-quality service," says Talgat Batpanov, the farm manager. At the farm, one of the tractors is already operating in test mode with autopilot. After a week of use, the system showed stable results: the equipment follows a set route, the data is transmitted to the server, and the management monitors the work from the phone in real time. Overlaps are reduced, replanting is eliminated, and fuel consumption is reduced."The test was successful, so it was decided to gradually equip all equipment with such systems by the end of the year," says Talgat Batpanov. The main effect, according to the management, is related not only to the economy, but also to working conditions. The autopilot reduces the load on the mechanic, removes constant tension and makes work more relaxed. The employee gets less tired and maintains a stable rhythm during the shift.- I have been working at the farm for 4 years now and I am glad that the process has become automated. This is convenient: it has become easier to manage equipment, less fatigue per shift. I started the autopilot, and the tractor walks across the field by itself, and we only control the system, you can even drink coffee," says mechanic Vladimir Shipilov with a smile. The management of the farm notes that it continues to invest in people and support those who are ready to work, develop and grow with the company. At the same time, a clear management system is being built: process control, efficiency, order and transparency at all stages.The youth of the district is also showing interest in new technologies. The second shift mechanic Mikhail Anishchenko has been working on the farm for two years.- I've always been on the same page with technology. Here you can try modern solutions in practice. Working with autopilot is simple and really interesting," he notes. However, not all young people in the villages think like Mikhail, and many go to the cities after studying in search of an easy life. Currently, many farms in the region need young personnel, but, as the agrarians themselves note, for this it is necessary to improve the quality of life in rural areas. Today, Amirgali Agricultural Company is engaged in crop production and is simultaneously testing new approaches in agricultural technologies. This year, the farm cooperates with agricultural companies, conducting tests of seeds and preparations in order to find the most effective solutions for the conditions of the area.The Samar region, thanks to such farms, is making a confident step towards precision and systematic agriculture — where technology enhances a person, rather than replacing him.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-samar/press/news/details/1199304?lang=kk
