Farmers have started preparing for sowing – they apply manure to the soil of the field. Last year they sowed wheat and alfalfa, this year they plan to sow oats, they have seeds – leftovers from the previous sowing.
History of the farm
Sofia and Volodymyr Topylko are a large family of dairy farmers. The couple has 5 children: 15-year-old Maria, 14-year-old Maxim, 12-year-old Denis, 10-year-old Volodymyr, and 7-year-old Anna. The farm is their only source of income. The war significantly reduced the family's earning capacity. Prices for fuel, veterinary drugs, and seeds have increased. The farm is becoming more and more difficult to maintain. Funds are also needed for the needs of a large family.
Volodymyr does not want to leave his family and go to work again. He wants to see how children grow, participate in family holidays, and not just look at photos on the phone. In addition, working at home is also a support for one's native village.
There are currently 13 cows, heifers, and calves on the farm. Older children willingly help their parents in the household, because they understand that it is difficult for them to cope on their own. Volodymyr's eldest son is also interested in farming. He always participates in all pieces of training organized by the UCF.
In order to develop the farm and increase the productivity of the existing livestock on the 'Milk Cloud' farm, it is necessary to improve the fodder base. Currently, the farm performs most technological operations with rented equipment, as a result, it is not always possible to meet the optimal deadlines and achieve the appropriate quality of the harvest.
Therefore, there was an urgent need to purchase its own agricultural equipment: a motor tractor with a power of 15-20 hp. and attached and trailed equipment to it. The purchase of this equipment will allow the owner to optimize and improve production processes and significantly save on equipment rental.
Even small amounts of $10-50 from many people will help farmers!
News from farm
With proper work, calves continue to be born on the farm. In January, two, and in February, farmers received another newborn calf. But the main news and joyful event in the family of Volodymyr and Sofia is the birth of their daughter. On January 25, the couple became parents of their sixth child.
Sofia and Volodymyr have already sown alfalfa and wheat, they have prepared hay, straw, and some silage for the winter. They plan to take bales as payment and purchase ground flour for feeding cows.
