The farming company Horní Krupá, a.s.
The Farming Company Horní Krupá, a.s. specializes both in crop growing and animal breeding. In total, it farms on 1,567 ha of farming land, 1,240 ha of arable land and 326 ha of permanent pastures. The farm is kept in perfect condition by fifty employees and professional farming machinery. The company is run by the Director, Mr Jiří Novák, who has been working there for forty years. They use the vast fields to grow rapeseed, wheat, potatoes and forage. They must be really busy in this respect to get sufficient reserves as there is a lot of cattle to feed: 490 dairy cattle, 230 calves, 2,400 pig fatlings and 150 sow pigs. In large amounts, they also grow different kinds of potatoes. Mr Novák has the credit for the construction of three new silos, which made the job considerably easier. One silo can store up to 12,500 tonnes of wheat.
Recently, the Farming Company Horní Krupá, a.s. has used subsidies to purchase a new tractor PROXIMA HS 110 with a feeding trailer STORTI husky DS 120 with the volume of 12 m3. It was distributed by MOREAU AGRI VYSOČINA spol. s r.o. in Nové Město na Moravě. ‘The ZETOR brand is still exceptional in the acceptable price of spare parts and maintenance,’ says Mr Novák assessing the brand.
In addition to the new tractor and trailer, there are several other tractors and farming machinery including older as well as more recent ZETORs. Yet, the newest one is this red beauty of the PROXIMA model range. Mr Novák has decided for this model having been inspired by a different local farm. The Farming Centre Vesa Česká Bělá, a.s., which is a neighbouring farm, purchased PROXIMA with a feeding trailer a year ago and they have been satisfied with how it operates.
