BRIEF HISTORY
SNOV Agricultural Production Complex (former name – M. I. Kalinin Collective Farm of the Order of Peoples Friendship) has been and is currently rated a leader of our country’s agricultural production. It was organized in 1951 by merging six smaller agricultural companies: Kalinin, Znamya Sovietov, Borets, Bogatyr, Luch Kommunizma and Krasny Ogorodnik collective farms. It incorporated over 700 agricultural settlements. The total usable area amounted to 3,650 ha, including arable land area – 2,670 ha. Non-distributable assets of the company valued 18.7 thousand rubles. At that time the collective farm possessed 36 heads of cattle (including 12 cows), 40 pigs, 37 sheep. By the year of merging, the collective farm reported 6.5 centners/ha crop capacity, 72 centner/ha potato yield, 816 kg annual milk production per cow.
