Eco-farms are a vital necessity, not a pipe dream

The entire thinking world these days is striving to switch to family-owned organic farms that produce normal healthy food, as opposed to agricultural holdings, which can only regurgitate poisonous products. Yes, going against the grain of a parasitic civilization is not easy, but positive examples can always be found.

The unique farm spreads over 8,000 hectares in the Poltava region and while the majority of organic farming clubs discuss the issue of cultivating small plots, they are engaged in biodynamics on an industrial scale.

How it all began

In the early 70s, intensive agriculture began to be used in the USSR. Agrarian, Mr. Antonets Semyon Spiridonovich received an order to use pesticides. Mainly women worked in the fields, preparing mixtures of pesticides FROM. Direct contact with chemistry - wounds appeared on the hands of workers. In 1978. Semyon Spiridonovich promised everyone that he would give up agricultural chemicals. And so, for more than 37 years he has not used them.

“My technology is simple: I do not use pesticides and a plow. In 1978, I still had no idea that fertilizers, getting into the soil, poison food, and then people. I banned their use when I saw that my workers were poisoned while working with chemicals,”says Semyon Antonets.

And now 8 thousand hectares of land have not seen this muck for 36 years. Fields of "Agroecology" are fed not only with manure. Special crops are grown here that fertilize the soil, for example, barley and corn are sown in turn. As a result, the earth becomes like humus - both in composition and in smell. Another principle: every fourth year, the crop is given to the land - simply leaving the vetch (forage crop) or alfalfa in the field. And even buckwheat, which is so expensive now, is simply mixed with the ground after flowering, so that next year this "gruel" will give an opportunity to fertile grain.

We do not fight the weeds at all

The main thing in organic farming is not to harm. The fields are not plowed here, but are "combed" with special shallow "combs", which furrow the soil by 3-4 centimeters. The deepest intervention is possible only before planting potatoes - 7-8 centimeters. All the equipment had to be altered by ourselves, and the plow had to be forgotten altogether.

“There is a field opposite, where the owner destroyed weeds with chemistry, and corn at the same time - it’s already yellow. Ours is small, but green and healthy. We are not fighting for record harvests, but are reproducing the fertility of the soil,”says Semyon Spiridonovich.

Many do not understand why his fields look "uncleaned", with straw and other impurities. But foreigners know a lot about them, because they are mushrooms and mold, which saturate the earth with nitrogen and make it fertile.

“Earlier, when we did land certification, we took soil for analysis. Now foreigners have found the simplest way to determine the quality of the land. They don't need instruments, they look at plants and even weeds. If among my wheat there is a plant that lives only in clean soil, - the land has been certified, - says Semyon Antonets. - Once upon a time, the Minister of Ecology of Poland, Jan Zhishko, came to us. He crawled over the crops for a long time, and then got up with joyful cries. He found there a rare beetle - a wolf ground beetle, which destroys pests. But most importantly, it is found only in clean soil."

Modern mill with stone millstones. Flour retains its qualities better - a lush consistency, original aroma, natural components of grain remain intact.

Organic flour is the best raw material for bakery products for kids.

Not only people, but also cows and pigs eat clean products in Mikhayliki of the Shishatsky district. Agroecology farms have 1,860 cows, 5,100 large horned animals and 800 pigs.

31 tons of organic milk are sent every day to the Kharkov dairy for the production of curds and yoghurts, - says General Director Vasily Lubenets.

If at least one barrel of fertilizers had been brought to the village, the people would have rebelled. Employees of "Agroecology" look askance, even when the seeds have to be treated with biological preparations.

Now Semyon Spiridonovich is already 80 years old and his daughter Antonina continues his work. And on the basis of his farm, a training center "Hatki" was created, where students constantly come to practice to study organic methods of cultivating land on an industrial scale.

On the territory of the agricultural farm there is a hotel for 50 people; they converted the building of an old rural school into a modern training center with a large assembly hall.

Today Agroecology employs 500 people. The village is also indicative of 1200 inhabitants, only 30 people are listed as unemployed in the employment center.

The main merit of Semyon Spiridonovich is that he showed in practice how for almost 40 years an organic farm can get out of any crisis and be profitable. No wonder he bears the title of Hero of the Soviet Union with the last serial number (given a few days before the putsch). During his lifetime, a monument was erected to him. At the opening, one priest said the key words: "Antonets have not poisoned people for 36 years!" And this is the main point.

Agroecology even made it into Colin Cerro's film Local Solutions to Global Problems.

Thoughts from the film 10 major deceptions of Humanity:

Under the myth of hunger, mutants are being introduced into the world of food - genetically modified organisms. This technology helps parasitic forces to destroy "extra" people. By introducing GMOs, they solve several problems at once: they sell expensive patented GM seeds for each new sowing, since most GMO lines do not give a second germination of seeds, they sell pesticides for them, since one does not exist without the other, and receive patent payments. If traditional crops grow near you, they are also infected with GMOs by means of cross-pollination, and the company will come to a neighbor with a lawsuit, having found its patented mutants on his site. And if you decide to abandon GM crops, then before sowing normal plants there, at least 3 years must pass to cleanse the soil, and this is with the most optimistic estimates …

Now the whole world looks at Russia as a potential leader in the field of organic farming. We can become a monopoly of natural food production all over the world, this place in the international division of labor is free. Only Russia, the largest country in the world, has millions of hectares of arable land rested from chemistry, and our lands practically did not know GMOs. There are no other such countries. Russia can supply expensive natural foodstuffs to both Europe and China, which can become an inexhaustible source of foreign exchange earnings, in contrast to exhaustible oil and gas reserves.
