Over the past fifty years, organic growth and conscious development have resulted in an 8,100-hectare field crop production unit on the hills and gentle slopes between the Gerecse and Buda hills. The quality of Gyermelyi pasta is rooted in quality raw material production.
In the framework of an excellent working relationship with the Martonvásár Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Science, which goes back several decades, the best high productivity and quality-enhancing Hungarian-breed autumn wheat types are tested under operating conditions.
By breeding varieties that meet the quality requirements, we ensure that we have the quality seed we need for our own use and for our partners who supply grain to the mill. To facilitate this, we have a modern, 10 tonnes/hour capacity seed grain plant with the full infrastructure necessary for processing the seed grain and with capacity for precleaning, drying and storage.
The further evolution of the crop structure is defined by the nearly 4,000-hectare wheat cultivation area, and primarily by the pre-crop needs of seed production. This is why we must give preference to good pre-crops: peas, rape, sunflowers. Poultry farming requires a considerable quantity of hard fodder, namely corn and wheat. The sowing structure incorporates a corn field size that provides for the needs of livestock farming. Gentle, energy-saving, dust-free and noise-free drying is ensured by three plants, one in Tök, one in Gyermely and one in Somodor, with a capacity of 25-25 tonnes per hour. The success of crop production depends on several factors, the key of which is carrying out the tillage, nutrient resupply, care and harvesting works at the appropriate time and in excellent quality.
This requires a modern and effective fleet of power tools, machinery and combines. This is why the Holding’s crop production unit launched a large-scale technical development programme to improve production efficiency with a pool of machines that has a uniform appearance and uses state-of-the-art technology. By 2013, this programme was concluded with the replacement of the harvesting equipment fleet, enabling precision and environmentally-conscious farming in line with the achievements of the 21st century.
