The right decision

Cigüt farm in the village of Noršinci in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia is one of the largest in the country. And it’s using new, environment-friendly farming methods.

“We use this all-purpose spreader for hauling and spreading manure, lime, river mud and other organic fertilizers.”

Štefan Cigüt

The farm is worked by two generations of the family under the leadership of Štefan Cigüt. With experience and hard work, he has made the farm larger year by year. Currently he works more than 330 hectares, growing healthy, high-quality products. In addition to family members the farm employs eight full-time hands, and Štefan Cigüt Junior will soon take over the running of this modern operation. He grew up on the farm, and agriculture is in his blood.

Excited about the Megafex

In addition to growing crops and raising some 800 head of beef cattle, the farm also provides contract services with agricultural machines. One of them is the Farmtech Megafex 2200, which is in constant use. “We collect over 8000 cubic meters of organic fertilizer per year. With that kind of volume, we need regular, dependable disposal. We compared many different brands, but the Megafex had the versatility and performance we were looking for,” says Cigüt of the big Farmtech manure spreader.

Organic fertilizer has great potential

Experienced farmers have known for a long time that natural, organic fertilizers are many times better for harvests and soil quality then chemical fertilizers. Cigüt says, “we use this all-purpose spreader for hauling and spreading manure, lime, river mud and other organic fertilizers. Years ago we cut back our use of chemical fertilizers, and organics are basically our main source of nutrients. We test them regularly and spread them on fields in the best, gentlest way possible. The Megafex makes our job easier. Its ideal spread pattern gives us controlled application. We can also replace the spreader unit with silage doors, and use the Megafex to transport corn, grass and triticale silage.” It was the machine’s versatility that tipped the balance in its favour. “We were already using a predecessor model of the Megafex, and the new generation had some major improvements to offer.”

Quality before quantity

Cigüt farm is a modern, professional and specialized business that is committed to high product quality. Price is not the overriding factor. “The opportunity to test the machines first, our long relationship and the quality of Farmtech’s products made the decision easier for us. We’re glad we added the Megafex to our machine park.”
