Planting and Harvesting



The weather in Cambodia allows year round planting of rice with one little restriction. Water! If there is water available during the 6 months of dry season, people can plant and harvest their crops year round. If no water is available then farmers must wait for the rain in June to plant their crops.
Where we are now there are some areas of year round water. We took several pictures of planting and harvesting and finally thrashing of the rice. This boy on the top of a rice stubble stack is eating a lot of dirt! Not a very good job but one someone must do. rick
