However, for the people of My Khanh hamlet, Khanh Thanh commune (Yen Thanh), using a water cannon combine harvester is more effective.

In addition, the machine wheel is 2.5m wider, larger than a normal combine, so the harvesting progress is faster. With 1 sao of rice field, this combined rice harvester only needs to operate for about 10 minutes. Photo: Xuan Hoang

bna_voi rong 2.JPG — Mr. Thai Viet Tri in My Khanh hamlet is the one who contracted with the owner of the water hose machine from Thanh Hoa to harvest rice for the people. Mr. Tri said that this type of machine only needs one person to operate, no need for people to collect rice, pack it like other conventional machines, so it reduces labor and is less difficult. Moreover, the machine has a system to lift the crawler up to 20 cm, so the muddy fields can also operate normally. The price for hiring a rice harvester is from 150,000 - 200,000 VND/sao (depending on the field). Photo: Xuan Hoang

bna_voi rong 1.JPG — The machine body is designed with a compartment to hold about 1 ton of rice. After each field, the rice is sprayed onto the tractor waiting on the shore using a hose system attached to the harvester. The rice transport service from the field to home costs 60,000 VND/trip. Mr. Nguyen Huu Thai, the harvester owner, said that this type of combined harvester with a hose was imported from Japan and purchased for 750 million VND. After harvesting all the rice for My Khanh hamlet, the machine will be transported to another locality to operate for the rest of the season. Photo: Xuan Hoang

bna_voi rong 5.JPG — To serve a combined harvester, there are 3-4 agricultural vehicles providing the service of transporting rice to the homes of the villagers. When the rice harvest season comes, the person renting the machine will contact them, the field owner does not have to go to the field, just sit at home and wait for the rice to dry, so in the field, even though it is the main harvest season, there are very few farmers, only machines and people transporting rice. Mr. Thai Viet Tri said that My Khanh hamlet has 30 hectares of rice, he has contracted 2 combined harvesters, the harvest time ends in 2-3 days. Photo: Xuan Hoang

bna_voi rong 4.JPG — Mr. Le Van Hong - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Yen Thanh district said: For a long time, localities in the district have mainly used combine harvesters. When operating, in addition to the driver, there must be 2 people standing on the side of the machine to collect rice into sacks to transport the rice home. Therefore, the field owner must buy sacks and pay for labor costs. Using this machine is more convenient and the harvesting progress is also faster. This summer-autumn crop, Yen Thanh planted more than 11 thousand hectares of rice, of which about 3 thousand hectares are in low-lying areas, which need to be harvested early to avoid flooding. With the harvested area, it shows that this year's summer-autumn rice crop is generally good, with a yield of 2.5 - 3 quintals/sao. Photo: Xuan Hoang
