The SWIFTERDISC XE_MEGA disc cultivator was purchased for two affiliated companies: Agrofirma Jelgava SIA (founded in 1995) and Agrofirma Zelta Druva SIA (founded in 1992). Both companies manage an area of 5,200 hectares together; it is located in the Zemgalska region, near the town of Jelgava (40 km from the capital city of Riga).
“We grow wheat and rapeseed, both summer and winter crops, and peas or beans. We had to start using high-performance tractors with corresponding tools in the last decade due to the unstable conditions when all the operations must be done in the shortest time possible. We use minimising and conventional soil cultivation technology,” the company manager says.
