Power of the Soil and Family Unity: The Experience of Shohratjan Hemrakulyyev
In the S.A. Niyazov farmers' association of the Charjew district in the Lebap region, Shohratjan Hemrakulyyev is one of the experienced leaseholders making a significant contribution to the national granary. Having worked with the soil for many years and gained rich experience, this farmer is recognized today as a true mentor for the youth and an exemplary worker.
Shohratjan knows how to work not only with the soil but also with numbers. Having obtained the profession of economist-accountant at the Agrotechnical Vocational Secondary School, he established farmer operations on a scientific basis. This allows him to correctly calculate expenses and achieve high profits on more than 50 hectares of leased land.
The main part of Shohratjan's working day is spent in the field. The results of his labor are most clearly seen in the numbers:
- White Wheat: High-yielding seeds brought from Russia were planted on 42 hectares, and good sprouts have been achieved currently. Last year, he harvested 148 tons from 30 hectares, showing a great result.
- Cotton: On an 8-hectare area, cotton is being cared for according to agrotechnical requirements, and row cultivation has begun.
- Sericulture: Shohratjan is also a leader in silk cocoon production. This year, he is tending to 200 grams of silkworm eggs and aims to exceed the cocoon production plan.
The family members play a major role in achieving high yields. His spouse Rana, sons Merdan and Serdar, and daughters-in-law Sharapat and Guncha provide close assistance to Shohratjan in all agrotechnical measures. This harmonious family shows the best example of working together.
Machinery, fertilizers, water, and high purchase prices provided by the state inspire leaseholders like Shohratjan toward new victories. The main goal of the experienced farmer is to welcome the 35th anniversary of our country's Independence with a bountiful harvest of "white gold" and white wheat.
