History
The history of the Tselinsky state farm began in February 1934 , when on February 11 the largest state farm at that time in the country, the Giant , was ordered by the People’s Commissariat of grain and livestock state farms to be divided into 4 state farms: Giant, Salsky, Tselinsky and Yulovsky. "
In the first years of its existence, the state farm had a rather powerful technique at that time. At the state farm there were: 71 wheeled tractors of the KhTZ and Lants type; 44 caterpillar tractors - ChTZ and Caterpillar; many trailed implements; 79 combines (Kommunar, Stalinets, Oliver) and 11 windrowers; 24 cars (AMO, ZIS, GAZ, YAG) and other equipment.
By order No. 59 of April 30, 1970, the Order of Lenin, the Tselinsky grain farm was renamed the Tselinsky experimental production farm DZNIISKH (Don Regional Agricultural Research Institute). Later, the “Tselinsky” collective farm DZNIISKH was renamed the Order of Lenin state farm “Tselinsky”.
