Ready for the rice harvest

 

When farmers are ready to harvest a rice field, they cut a small section by hand so there is a space for the harvester to get into the field. The workers have brought food and drink in blue insulated bags. There is a helmet, so someone probably came by scooter. I can't explain the pink bathroom slippers.

    That shots tells a story - very good.

    Over here the harvesters just march on into fields and get going. There must be damage but obviously not enough to warrant action. I'm guessing it's a 'cost of labour' issue.

      This is only done for the rice fields, probably because each field is surrounded by earthen walls for flooding the paddies. And farm labour (mostly old ladies) is cheap here at harvest time.
