| In the fields of Kim Lien commune (Nam Dan), the conical hats tilted to cover sweaty faces and the glinting of sickles are now absent. Instead, there is the rumbling sound of combine harvesters. Photo: Trung Ha |
 In previous seasons, to harvest one sao of rice, a family needed 1-2 days to harvest, bundle, transport home, thresh, and winnow. Now, with only 150,000 VND, after 15-20 minutes, the harvesting process is completed by the combine harvester. Photo: Trung Ha |

| Occasionally, somewhere in the fields, there are still people harvesting by hand. They are afraid that the rice will fall over, and that harvesting by machine will not be thorough and will be wasteful. Photo: Trung Ha |

| Rice is threshed right in the field. People just need to transport it home to dry. Photo: Trung Ha |

| Straw is dried to feed buffalo and cows or burned right in the field to make fertilizer for the next crop. Photo: Trung Ha |
