In the Ivanovo region, Yuri Rubinsky's farm is engaged in livestock farming and is developing rural tourism.

The farmer is currently building a new feedlot for livestock and plans to increase the herd from 500 to 800 HEAD of cattle by September . During a working visit to the Shuya District, Ivanovo Region Governor Stanislav Voskresensky visited the farm and observed the family business's development.
According to Yuri Rubinsky, he has been farming for 10 years, starting with a small herd of 20 cows and now 500 head of cattle. The farm has seen its most active growth in the last three years, thanks in part to a grant received for the development of the family farm.
Stanislav Voskresensky thoroughly examined all aspects of the family business's operations. The governor inspected the construction of the feedlot for livestock and the construction of guest houses, where the farmer plans to develop agritourism. "The impressions are extremely positive. Well done guys, they've grown from 20 head of cattle to almost 800 this year." "They're growing steadily and are involved in agritourism," noted Stanislav Voskresensky. He ordered assistance in developing this new business: "So that when all the houses are finished, our residents will know they can come here, relax, and connect with the land in the best sense of the word."
The main focus of Yuri Rubinsky's farm is beef cattle breeding. "We buy calves from dairy farms, which were previously shipped to other regions, and we fatten them up here in the Ivanovo region. We pay taxes here and create jobs," the farmer explained. By September, they plan to increase the herd from 500 to 800 head of cattle. Marketing is well established. They produce approximately 110-120 tons of MEAT annually.
Denis Cherkesov, Deputy Chairman of the Ivanovo Region Government, noted that this is one of the best feedlots in the region. "Despite the fact that the enterprise is small, they adhere to all the technological canons of fattening the livestock here. "Good weight gain and good meat quality," explained Denis Cherkesov. He noted that such open-air farms save money and provide more comfortable conditions for the animals both in winter and summer. The deputy chairman also noted the excellent results in crop production.
As Yuri Rubinsky explained, they grow animal feed on their own land: corn and oats, and this year they planted buckwheat for the first time. The average grain yield is high – 40 centners per hectare. They cultivate just over 2,000 hectares of land, having brought over 700 hectares of arable land into cultivation in five years, and they plan to continue this work. To carry out a range of agricultural work, they have a fleet of agricultural machinery: over the past four years, they have acquired a Kirovets tractor, seven MTZ tractors, two grain harvesters, one forage harvester, and a grain drying complex. The farm also has modern radio navigation systems and an autopilot.
Another area of ​​activity is the development of rural tourism. A total of six guesthouses for 20 people will be built, two of which are already completed. "We plan to fully launch agritourism by 2027, so children can come and see what a horse is, where meat and MILK come from , and how grain grows," explained Yuri Rubinsky. He explained that he moved to Kolobovo with his family over 20 years ago: "I don't want to leave. I'm a farmer, I have three children, and the whole family is involved."
It's worth noting that the farm is actively involved in the community and supports social programs: they invest in a football club and, at their own expense, restored a stadium where over 70 local children train. They also sponsor institutions for orphans and children left without parental care.
