On April 21, 2006, you saw photos of "modern" Rice Harvesting. This month, photos of the "traditional" method. In this case, ALL of the work is done by hand.
Cutting the rice plants.
A collection of heavily loaded rice plants.
To separate the grains of rice, the harvesters beat clumps against a wooden board.
Here you see flying grains of rice (against the dark pants) and collected grains on the woodend board.
Collecting the rice straw.
A well-deserved rest break.
A farmer collecting grass for his cows. The thing on the ground is a pole with an open basket at each end. When full, he will balance the pole on his shoulders to carry it.
