How to quickly earn in crisis: the cultivation of strawberries and raspberries

Part 1

When we were going to the farmer Vladimir Antropov in farm Kopansky Dinskoy district, we did not know that Russia is a world leader in the production of raspberries. Grows "antianginal" berries more than the United States, Canada and other countries with advanced selkhozindustriya. Antropov from those who provide this leadership. Not so much because it produces tons of it – he's a model of successful economic management. He enthusiastically learn, adopt technology, buying seedlings.

Antropov proves that berry with diligence and adapted to the specific site and technology maybe even small areas to be the basis of the family budget. Especially at a moderate diversification of business, when, like the second wing, not less fruitful strawberry beds. Indeed, based on so – called grade of neutral day, fruit to 10 months of the year.It is necessary, first, to note that no expensive equipment on several acres of a farmer will not find. Every effort has been made soundly, but of the most inexpensive materials – maximum savings of money and effort.

In other words, the average Kuban family can do like berry plantations.

Raspberry right on the trellis. in the spirit of minimalism: oak rough yet robust columns, the crosses from the same oak planks. Taut wire. This design is easy to construct yourself.

 



But berry vividly contrasts with all modest and minimalistic environment. Bush – juicy of the bunch, including yellow (it's special, white variety). Of course, very tasty.

Interested in productivity.

– With this 60-metre range during the long season we collect up to 700 pounds of raspberries, – said Vladimir Antropov. But we believe that this is only half of the crop. With very good care, you can get twice as much.



Favorite and the main variety antropovsky raspberry – Taganka. On these lands he's the best at the main criteria of yield, taste, disease resistance.

However, a farmer willing to prepare seedlings and many other types of raspberries. Even such exotic as raspberry tree. This variety is called Tarusa and really reminiscent of a young spruce. Interesting for home gardens, like shade, and of course, fruits. In recent years, Tarusa just coming into fashion.

Strawberries Vladimir Antropov also provides income not only berries, but also seedlings.



And if a handful of sweet raspberries in September seems quite natural, it is dotted with big berry strawberry rows caused slight awe. We have long assumed that at this time of year, the strawberries in our area is sold exclusively Turkish. Not at all! Antropov raises it right near Krasnodar – excellent taste and aroma.

In the possession of the farmer Vladimir Antropov from the farm Kopanskogo Dinskoy district – summer almost all year round. Bunches of juicy red strawberries in the beds in the middle of autumn, like a fairy tale about twelve months, change all the ideas about the seasons, it remains only to enjoy the marvelous taste and aroma of berries.

In the year that we were not a farmer, he turned several acres of his land at the present strawberry "Kingdom". First, it extended the boundaries of the land and broke new ranges, experience in combination with modern technologies for intensive crop production. Now instead of straw ripe berries fall on to a special film Italian production that blocks out the harmful rays and allows Poch ve to breathe; under – film drip irrigation. Weeds on a flower bed almost do not grow, moisture is perfectly preserved. Everything is simple, hygienic and most importantly – environmentally friendly.

Second, renewed planting material. This spring "on trial" were planted over twenty new strawberry varieties, won the trust of breeders around the world – "the Maestro" and "Anthea", "Modelayn", "Irma", "Asia", "Malling Pandora," "Miracle world" and many others. Special respect the Kuban farmer use Italian, French and Dutch SOR-TA – at high harvest they give large berries with an exquisite flavor and aroma. For the next season on a farm of nearly thirty old and new grades will remain only a few. Demanding the owner will select those that in our conditions has shown itself from the best side. For us he had a tour and tasting so we were able to assess the quality of the berries.



– Favorite brand is "Charlotte", – stops in front of a small, lush bushes with bright red berries Vladimir Antropov. – In my opinion – is the best of all the varieties of neutral day. The smell is just fabulous, a whole bunch of flavors, with any other berry not to compare. And the taste is so unusual, each the berries their hue. Eat one after another, the hand itself will be pulled.

The following is a time – tested one grade of neutral day "Irma". According to farmer, taken a "Bang" in all known chains of restaurants of Krasnodar, with whom he is not the first year cooperates. By the way, restaurateurs are ready to pay any price for quality local product, in all respects, outpacing overseas. Love the "Irma" for a harmonious, sour-sweet taste and attractive appearance. Berries as the selection: large, shiny, the same size and strong enough for transportation.

– Another interesting sort of neutral day – Albion. The inflorescence has a strong, well raised above the ground. The berries hang in the air and, therefore, ripen more evenly and prolong their shelf life. Good and the variety is early maturing, but a prolonged fruiting "Arosa", gives large berries from the first to the latest collection. Strawberry varieties are medium maturing Syria is very hardy – shrubs powerful, increased hardiness, fruits bright, sweet taste. A wonderful variety is late maturing Florence berry – sturdy, ideal for transportation and are so resistant to weather conditions, which practically do not rot.

On their "wards" Vladimir can speak for hours. From the case we learned that strawberries contains a minimal amount of sucrose, so it can be eaten even by diabetics. In addition, it is recommended for prevention of heart attacks and strokes and generally has a beneficial effect on the hematopoietic system.

– And this is a new variety to our farm, we have high hopes, called the Wonder of the world – proudly says Vladimir. – Called breeders have guessed at 100%: grade unpretentious and harvest, the taste and smell of the closest to forest strawberries. Ideal for gardeners. Judge for yourself: we this site after spring planting, little has been done, never sprayed and inflorescence not terminated. And the bushes yield, and addition of whiskers produced well, although usually mustache and berries for farmers – are incompatible.





Products Vladimir Antropov never lie, baskets with berries differ in a matter of hours. Mostly wholesalers come after her right to the farm, but it happens that the owner himself is selling it in urban markets. In Krasnodar antropovsky strawberries you can buy at Sennoy market, markets on the streets Atarbekova, Turgeneva, Sochi and vishnjakovoj. Already there is agreement on the supply of markets in the area of regional hospital and Jubilee neighborhood. One farmer complains, for the expansion of the economy is not enough conscientious workers, and there is nobody to pass my experience, and with it the business. He is waiting, when some workers will have a real successor, who prudently, with soul and care will belong to the berry and land on which it grows. This and all the strawberry Kingdom can be! published
