Due to the prolonged heatwave, in order to meet planting deadlines while also ensuring their health, farmers in the mountainous areas of Nghe An province have chosen to plant rice at night to avoid the heat.

Arriving at the fields of farmers in Tam Thai commune, Tuong Duong district, a mountainous area, at around 8 PM (June 21st), we could see a very lively working atmosphere, always filled with the laughter and chatter of the farmers... Ms. Lo Thi Huong, from Lung village, Tam Thai commune, Tuong Duong district, said: "During the day, I take advantage of the time to pull up rice seedlings, and in the evening I have dinner early so that I can start planting in the fields around 5 PM. Usually, I come home around 10 PM, but sometimes it's as late as 11 PM." Photo: Dinh Tuan

Not far from Ms. Huong's family's rice field is the rice field of Ms. Luong Thi Oanh's family. "Due to the dwindling workforce because many young people are going away to work, and the planting season is tight, many families have to hire extra laborers. Many people take advantage of finishing their own farming work to go and plant rice for hire to earn extra income," Ms. Oanh shared. (Photo: Dinh Tuan)

Another resident of Lung village, Tam Thai commune, also said: “It’s not just my family, but most farmers in the village and commune choose to plant at night. Planting at night avoids the sun and allows the water to arrive in time. The seedlings also grow better, root faster, and are fresher because the water and mud have cooled down a bit.”...

These days, not only farmers in Tam Thai commune but also in many other localities in Tuong Duong district are working late into the night, planting rice seedlings and transplanting saplings, such as in Thach Giam town, Tam Dinh, Tam Quang... With this positive and proactive spirit, it is believed that this year's summer-autumn crop in Tuong Duong district will be successfully completed according to plan, creating a foundation for a bountiful harvest.
