A total of seven cattle-breeding farms are planned to be constructed using the mechanism of state and private partnership. Administration creates conditions favouring the investments into dairy breeding:  one rouble invested by the company is compensated by one rouble from regional or federal budget <...>. In Rybalovo village (Tomsk district) there will be a dairy farm for 1.8 thousand milk cows and that for 1.2 thousand milk cows in Novonikolaevka of Asinovsky district.

A complex in Rybalovo will be constructed by "Mezheninovskaya" agrarian company, and a farm in Novonikolaevka - by a local "Niva" farm. Rybalovo farm may house up to 4.8 thousand cows at a time (milk cows and calf), and in Novonikolaevka - up to 2.8 thousand cows.

Andrey Knorr noted that Rybalovsky complex will breed "Hereford" cows, whereas Novonikolaevka farm will breed "Ayrshirer" ones.

A. Knorr also noted that together with the farms the authorities plan to construct stadiums, cultural facilities, schools and other infrastructure facilities.
