(Baonghean.vn) - Along with many other rural areas in the province, farmers in Mon Son commune (Con Cuong district) are in the midst of a busy but extremely joyful harvest season.
Visiting Mon Son - Muong Qua this time, we witnessed the joy of the Thai and Dan Lai ethnic groups because this year's spring rice crop was bountiful. Throughout the fields, farmers were excitedly entering the harvest season. The villages were filled with the sounds of trucks carrying rice, and threshing machines...
 |
| This spring, Mon Son commune planted approximately 360 hectares with rice varieties including BTE1, Nhi Uu 986, Nhi Uu 63, and Nghe An 2. |
 |
| The average rice yield for this year's spring crop is over 57 quintals/hectare, much to the delight of the farmers. |
 |
| The farmers harvested and threshed the rice right in the field. |
 |
| Many households use carts to transport harvested rice home to thresh it, using the straw as feed for their buffaloes and cows. |
 |
| By taking advantage of the opportunity to dry the rice grains in the field before bringing them home, farmers can both avoid the intense midday sun and save time on drying the rice. |
 |
| Carrying rice from the fields to the main road under the scorching sun, the farmers were very happy despite being exhausted. |
 |
| Compared to the usual planting schedule, this year's spring rice crop ripened 5-10 days earlier. Farmers in Mon Son are urgently harvesting before the Minor Man period (a traditional Vietnamese lunar calendar term) to avoid potential damage in case of heavy rains. |
