Precision spraying, more than precise service — Rumyana Angelova

Rumyana Angelova is a grain producer from the town of Byala Slatina. She's one of the few women in farming. Her family farm started its activity in 1999. She is a second generation farmer and currently cultivates 3,000 acres of land.

“Farming is a man's business, but women are breaking through because we are more responsible. The truth is that there are very few women in agriculture. And I am very glad that I am one of them.”shares Rumiana Angelova.

She tells us about the challenges in agriculture, precision processing and the ways she makes her farm innovative and competitive with the help of new technologies.

“Precision farming is very important in our industry. For years I have been using all the systems that are available on the market, mostly from the company NIK, shares Rumyana Angelova. And he adds - I prefer to work with the company NIK, because over the years they have proven that they are the people who always respond and always give me the choice of the best option for what I want to achieve and in what way to achieve it”. Rumyana Angelova is categorical — she has bet on a Berthoud sprayer for some of the most important operations in the farm. The model has 24 meter bars and a tank with a capacity of 3200 liters. Sectional control ensures high precision and good results in the field and greatly facilitates the operator's work during spraying, giving him the opportunity to focus on the more important tasks.

“I chose the Berthoud sprayer because it is very productive and precise. When spraying, it is very important to have sectional control. When you overapply a fungicide or herbicide to the plant, it burns. This is avoided by sectional control. The Berthoud sprayer offers all the new technologies that are available on the market. We have been working with her for a year, and I already have observations on the operation of the machine. The precision it achieves, together with the Trimble navigation system, plus all the other factors such as suspension, shock absorbers, etc. make the work easier and much more precise”

Climate change also poses serious challenges for farmers and requires a rapid response.” If you can't react quickly and accurately, things don't work out in agriculture anymore, says Rumyana Angelova. I chose Berthoud Trackerbecause it offers me just that — fast and accurate work.” In addition to the attachment sprayer, Rumyana Angelova also works with a Trimble navigation and control display: “The display of Trimble GFX-750is useful because of the sectional control, because of the accuracy it achieves, she told us. We work with an accuracy of 2 cm not only when spraying, but also when fertilizing, sowing, etc. These operations are tied to each other. When there is accuracy, there is even beauty when you look at a crop.”

But the most important thing is trust and partnership. Here is what Rumyana Angelova shares about her work with NIK:“The service of NIK company is at a very good level. They always respond the moment you turn to them.They are a very good team and we understand each other very well. The ideas and things they have offered me over the years have been very well thought out and I always listen to their suggestions. The main thing in any partnership is trust. When you have many years of experience working with a company, when you have built trust with each other, inevitably the relationship is good. Then even if someone else offers you something at a better price, you will not change your partner. Because they are correct, they are the people who have helped you over the years, gave you advice and when it was necessary they always responded. Since they are on the market, I have been working with NIK”, shares Rumyana Angelova.
