Rice harvesting during the pandemic

HNN.VN - In the summer-autumn crop this year, farmers face more difficulties as the weather is not favorable. It is drought in the middle of the crop, and it rains in harvest time.

However, farmers all over the area have overcome the difficulties by taking advantage of sunny days to harvest rice in flooded fields by manual methods. In the dry fields, after the combine harvester completes its task, in some places, they collect straws to make compost and grow mushrooms, reducing the burning of straws in the fields.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, even when harvesting rice in the fields or drying paddy at their houses, they still follow pandemic prevention measures, wear face masks regularly, although it has not been easy for them before...

That was recorded by Nguyen Phong, the collaborator, during the days when he went along with farmers to the fields to harvest rice.

Winter-Spring Crop: The Season of Prosperity

I did not grow up in a family devoted solely to farming, yet my childhood held a clear and gentle chapter shaped by the cycles of rain and sun in my grandparents’ fields. Those years, and the memories they carry, have left a lasting mark, so that even now, I am stirred by an inexpressible emotion whenever I see farmers busily preparing for a new sowing season.

Golden harvest on salty soil

On the 10-acre field of red chiem rice (a traditional red rice grown in brackish lowlands of Hue City, sown by April and harvested by July), each planting season requires 40 to 50 hired laborers, and the harvest stretches over several days. Left untended and unfertilized, the rice grows naturally under the generous sun and rain. Some call it “heaven’s rice” — a variety grown from the grace of Tam Giang’s waters.
