(Baonghean.vn) -In the harvest fields, Thanh Chuong farmers (Nghe An) use many giant combine harvesters to free up labor and sow summer-autumn rice in time.
Currently, Thanh Chuong district has 1,100 agricultural machines of all kinds; there are 20 large combine harvesters and 100 medium and small ones. This type of combine harvester can harvest the roots instead of just skimming the tops. With the function of harvesting and threshing at the same time, the threshed rice is put into the machine's belly, the straw will be pushed back and fall straight down without being crushed.

Using machines to harvest rice not only brings high labor productivity, but also helps farmers to work less hard. In the photo, farmers in Thanh Linh commune (Thanh Chuong) harvest rice all night to compete with the season. Photo: Dinh Ha

Areas harvested earlier will be sown with summer-autumn rice immediately to catch up with the season. According to the summer-autumn crop plan this year, Thanh Chuong will plant about 5,500 hectares of rice. To ensure the safety of the summer-autumn rice crop, priority will be given to areas with proactive water sources and not too low-lying areas, limiting direct sowing. Photo: Dinh Ha
