Currently, all agricultural machinery of the farm is equipped with GLONAS systems, differentiated application of mineral fertilizers is carried out, according to soil maps, which are digitized and entered into the electronic database. The livestock complexes of the breeding farm are equipped with electronic sensors that monitor the status of each animal on the farm.

As the head of the farm said, the path to digitalization had been going on for several years, was quite costly, but in the end all costs began to bring enormous profits, making the “Irmen” breeding farm a leader not only in the Novosibirsk region, but in Russia as a whole.
