Early November is rice harvesting time. From sunrise to sunset farmers and their family members, friends, coworkers, and rented hands are working away in the fields. In a matter of weeks the land has gone from wavy fields of green to flat expanses of dirt.
The rice stalks are cut and piled into hand-sized bundles.
The bundles are moved to the processing station.
The rented machine is jammed. This clever human-powered device quickly separates the rice seed from the stalk.
The machine is back in action.
The pile of rice stalks after having the rice removed. This circular piling method supposedly makes the remaining material dry faster than simply scattering it on the field.
Break time.
Having a good time of all the work.
