The highlands of Nghe An take on a rich beauty every November and December. That is the season when the Mong people bring water to the terraced fields to prepare the soil for spring rice planting.

thang 9 — Mr. Ly Ca Dinh in Na Nieng village, Tri Le commune said that his family has 3 terraced fields, with an area of 800m2. Although it is still more than a month until the spring rice planting season, now the couple is bringing water into the fields and using machinery to prepare the soil. For people in the highlands, agricultural production is the top priority to ensure food, so farming is the top priority to achieve high productivity. Photo: Quang An

thang 3 — Ms. Va Thi Co, wife of Mr. Ly Ca Dinh, said that the purpose of preparing the land early is to push all the grass and stubble deep into the soil and let it rot. On the day of planting, just harrow it once. Doing this reduces pests and weeds, and the rice plants grow better. Photo: Xuan Hoang

thang 6 — To regulate water into the terraced fields, people often use plastic pipes placed across the banks to lead water from the upper fields to the lower fields. Together with careful embankment construction, water retention in each field is ensured. Photo: Quang An

ruong 1(1) — Water for the fields is taken from the Kem Ai dam of Tri Le commune and partly from natural water flowing from the forest. Wherever water enters the fields, farmers use machines to till the soil. Photo: Xuan Hoang

thang 5 — In the past, people used buffalo and cow power to plow the land, but today they mainly use machines to plow the land, reducing labor and making progress faster, and the soil is softer. Photo: Xuan Hoang

thang 1 — The terrain in the highlands of Nghe An is generally mountainous and steep, so the terraced fields, or the process of bringing water to the fields, is truly a creative, hard-working and skillful work. The highlands change their clothes in turn during the harvest season, sometimes wearing the red and yellow color of alluvium, sometimes dyed with the lush green of young rice, and sparkling with the clear water reflecting the sky.

ruong 2(1) — Mr. Lu Van Cuong - Chairman of Tri Le Commune People's Committee said that the locality has 450 hectares of rice fields, mainly terraced fields. Every year, starting from the end of November, farmers, especially the Mong ethnic people, go to the fields to get water, plow the land, clear the banks, treat the fields, and prepare for spring crop production. Therefore, in the days of November and December, the sound of tilling machines echoes in the terraced fields in the commune, creating a bustling and beautiful scene.
According to information from the Department of Agriculture of Que Phong district, in the coming spring crop, the whole district will cultivate 2,200 hectares, mainly terraced fields. Unlike other ethnic groups, the Mong people in the district often take care of their fields, so every year they prepare the land early, in order to carefully treat the fields to enter the successful production season.
