Abstract: The article states that in the domestic grain sub-sector while reducing the machine and tractor fleet in many grain producing farms reduced possibilities for the use of new technologies and machinery for production, harvesting and under working of grain. The lack of domestic agricultural machinery, its poor quality in relation to foreign analogs led to that in recent years import of equipment considerably grew. Updating of agricultural machinery occurs slower rates in comparison with its leaving, but in general power capacities are reduced by less low rates. To stop leaving of main types of agricultural machinery, it is necessary to get annually at least 20000 tractors, 8000 grain-harvesting and 2000 fodder harvesting combines, and also to have regional programs for technical and technological modernization. Development of own agricultural mechanical engineering will allow Russia to pursue more accelerated rates the independent policy directed on import substitution of foodstuff, cars and the equipment for ensuring food security of the country.
