Farmers 'carrying nets and lamps' to protect themselves from the sun

(Baonghean.vn) - In hot weather, rice farmers are increasingly worried, fearing that the water source for planting will dry up, that's why in many rice fields, even though it's over 40 degrees Celsius,^oC, people also cannot rest. The effective measure applied by farmers in many rural areas of Nghe An is "carrying rain during the day and wearing lamps at night" to avoid harsh weather and sow crops on time.

Many people in Thanh Luong commune, Thanh Chuong district have used ash (palm) leaves to cover their backs like a raincoat to protect them from the sun while planting rice. This traditional raincoat-style method is very effective in protecting women from the sun when they bend down to plant rice, helping to ensure production progress in rice fields at risk of water shortage at the beginning of the crop.

In some areas, farmers eat dinner earlier than usual and prepare flashlights to go to the fields to plant rice at night. This method helps people avoid the intense heat all day long, while ensuring the crop schedule. Photo of farmers planting rice seedlings at night. Photo: Dinh Ha
