As of August 28, people in Quynh Luu district have harvested about 600 hectares of summer-autumn rice. Thanks to the use of combine harvesters, the harvest is faster and farmers have less trouble than harvesting by hand. Photo: Viet Hung |

After renting a harvester, people just need to bring the rice grains home to dry without having to go through many steps like before. Photo: Viet Hung |

In the summer-autumn crop, the weather is erratic, sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, making it very difficult for farmers to dry rice. Taking advantage of the sunny weather, farmers dry rice wherever possible. Photo: Viet Hung |

Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh in Quynh Hau commune said: Whenever the weather is sunny, the family mobilizes all the manpower to dry the rice. Not only drying in the yard, the family also takes advantage of the concrete road in front of the house to dry. Photo: Viet Hung |

Taking advantage of the sunny weather, many households that do not have enough yard space to dry their rice bring it out to the streets to "catch the sun". Photo: Viet Hung |

To make the rice ripen quickly, households must stay in the sun, regularly rake and turn the rice many times. If the sun is strong and continuous, the rice can be bagged after 1 day, but if the weather is sunny and rainy, it will take 3 to 4 days. Photo: Viet Hung |

This year's summer-autumn crop, due to unfavorable weather conditions and short-term rice varieties, yield and output were only half of the winter-spring crop, reaching about 2 quintals/sao (the winter-spring crop reached 4 - 4.5 quintals/sao). Photo: Viet Hung |
