(Baonghean.vn) -It is only the third day of Tet but farmers in many localities have already gone to the fields. This crop is indeed a big worry for farmers as many areas of rice have died.
 |
| People in the communes of Tao Son, Lang Son, Khai Son, and Long Son (An Son district) all said that due to the recent severe cold spell, many areas of rice and seedlings died. In the fields of Khai Son and Long Son communes, although people used plastic covers to protect the seedlings, most of them were still completely lost. Therefore, on the first day of the new year, many households destroyed the damaged rice and planted new rice. |
 |
| Mr. Le Xuan Tuan (Hamlet 2 - Khai Son) and his wife went to the field near their house to check the field. This year, he planted 5 sao of rice but almost all the seedlings and rice died. He said: "Before Tet, we finished planting, but today when we checked, we found out that out of 10, only 2 remained. Now we have to start over. |
 |
| The plated numbers were not covered with plastic before Tet and burned yellow. |
 |
| The plastic covered numbers suffered the same fate. |
 |
| People have to take advantage of the remaining rice to plant additional crops. |
 |
| In some suburban communes of Vinh, taking advantage of the warm and sunny weather, people have also started going to the fields to work on the rice crop. |
 |
| Like many other localities, the cold rains earlier this year caused a total loss of crops. |
 |
| In Hung Loc commune (Vinh city), people have been working on the fields since the second day of Tet. |
 |
| In some dry fields, people have to use machines to pump water. |
 |
| The reason people went to the fields early was because they were worried about not being able to make it in time after the rice planted before Tet died due to a record cold spell. |
 |
| Tet is not over yet but people still go to the fields early and hope to recover the failures in the year's anise planting season. |
 |
| This spring, Thanh Chuong district plans to plant about 14,500 hectares of various crops. Of which, 8,200 hectares are for rice and about 3,000 hectares are for corn.Right after the happy days of Tet, taking advantage of the warm sunny weather from the 3rd day of Tet, farmers went to the fields. |
 |
| Due to the prolonged cold, the weak seedlings have not had time to recover. Most communes have instructed people to plant crops in advance to compete for the season. In the photo, Thanh Chuong farmers are taking advantage of the opportunity to prepare the land for planting crops. |
