The 2023/2024 Harvest Plan, announced on the 27th, in Brasília, made more than R$364 billion in resources available to rural producers in funding and investments. A new feature this year is the launch of the Family Farming Harvest Plan, released the day after the Harvest Plan, which will be worth R$71,6 million, with lower interest rates for food production, acquisition of machinery and sustainable practices.
Parallel to the launch of the Family Farming Harvest Plan, held in the Palácio do Planalto parking lot, there was, for the first time, an exhibition of machines and implements aimed at Family Farming.
Baldan, whose entire product portfolio serves family farming, such as harrows, brush cutters and others, was present and exhibited part of its product line, such as DCF-CO, PLB Directa and RAC 1700.
The DCF-CO - Fertilizer, Limestone, Fertilizer and Organic Compost Distributor has an 80 cm track, reinforced structure and can be activated via cardan or hydraulic motor, meeting distribution needs with low cost and long useful life.
Developed for conventional planting, the PLB Directa is a robust and low-cost row seeder, with simple adjustments, which deliver efficiency and planting quality.
The RAC 1700, a trailed brush cutter with cardan, allows mowing, cleaning and maintenance of crops with cutting height adjustments from 100 mm to 320 mm. The coupling to the tractor is carried out via the drawbar and the knife set is activated via a power take-off.
“Baldan’s slogan is about always being present in this land, and proof of this is that all of our products are suitable for family farming. To reinforce this commitment, we were present at the launch of the 2023/2024 Harvest Plan, showing solutions that can be purchased through Pronaf in thousands of partner resellers spread across Brazil”, says Celso Ruiz, CEO of Baldan.
