Alfalfa
Alfalfa, which is known as the queen of forage crops and is one of the most important protein sources, is produced in large quantities by our company. With our professional staff and qualified equipment, we obtain quality products with high protein and low lignin content, thanks to our special harvest program.
Our alfalfa production in both hay and silage forms fulfills all the needs of our livestock enterprise. We also sell high quality alfalfa to large livestock enterprises. Our annual production is between 10-15 thousand tons.
Maize
Every year, varieties that stand out in terms of yield and quality are chosen from trial plots, and 5 thousand tons of maize grain and 30 thousand tons of maize silage are produced annually with the best dry substance and starch contents.
High quality and high yield maize grain is produced at storable humidity by cultivating varieties compatible with the region.
Our maize production fulfills all the needs of our livestock enterprise.
Barley - Wheat
High yield and high quality certified seeds are produced in the conditions of the Central Anatolia region. The barley, durum and common wheat seed needs of the region are met with a production of approximately 10 thousand tons per year.
Other Products
Crop rotation is indispensable for the sustainability of production in field agriculture. With this in mind, chickpeas, lentils from edible grain legumes; sunflowers, safflowers from industrial crops; products such as cumin and fennel from medicinal aromatic plants are cultivated.
Good agriculture practices: These are the necessary practices that must be implemented in order to make the agricultural production socially viable, economically profitable and efficient, protecting human health, valuing animal health and welfare as well as the environment.
Our Field Crops department produces medicinal aromatic plants in accordance with natural and export conditions. Due to our corporate identity, every process our products go through have been recorded for years under the traceable agriculture policy.
Thanks to tractors and equipment compatible with smart agriculture, technologies such as precision seeding, automatic steering, farm management systems and agricultural meteorology stations are actively used in agricultural activities. Environmental protection is ensured by reducing chemical inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides, which are among the targets of smart agriculture.
Smart agriculture also enables high yields and high quality in production, a more effective flow of information for cultivation decisions and creation of record keeping in agriculture.
Water is vital for the survival of living things. From the smallest living organism to the largest living being, it is water that sustains all biological life and all human activities. It is known that 70% of world’s water consumption is used in agricultural activities. In the field of agricultural irrigation, which has become even more important due to the global climate change, our company abandoned the concept of uncontrolled irrigation many years ago.
Our company uses pressurized irrigation systems in order to ensure more economical and efficient irrigation. There are 14 central pivots that irrigate an area of approximately 5,000 decares, drip irrigation systems are used in an area of 4,000 decares, and sprinkler irrigation systems are used in an area of 3,000 decares.
Seeds are the most important reproductive material that sustains the plant population. Seeds are used for carrying out 90% of agricultural food production. Understanding that quality seeds means healthy plants, our company produces certified seeds in both producer and breeder varieties in order to meet the needs of our local farmers.
Approximately 10 thousand tons of certified barley and wheat seeds are produced annually in our modern seed screening facility with a capacity of 10 tons per hour.
Demonstration studies are carried out on different plants by our team of specialised engineers and technicians. Studies continue on the density of plants, productivity of different seed varieties with fertilization and treatment at different doses. The data obtained from the demonstrations are made into a report and used for determination of the next method of production. In this way, products with higher quality and yield are obtained from per unit area.
