(Baonghean.vn) - These days, people in Anh Son are busily harvesting the summer-autumn crop. From early morning, farmers have been out in the fields harvesting rice. Despite a severe drought at the beginning of the season in the western part of Nghe An province, Anh Son's rice yield this summer-autumn season remains quite good.
 |
| At this time of year, rice crops for the summer-autumn harvest are beginning to ripen in all the communes of Anh Son district. Farmers are busily working in the fields to harvest. |
 |
| In the rice fields of Hamlet 12, Duc Son Commune, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Luong, excitedly harvesting the heavy-grained rice stalks, said: "At the beginning of the season, there was a severe drought, and I thought that the two acres of rice I planted wouldn't yield any harvest. But after planting, the weather was favorable with rain, so the yield was quite good, over 2.25 quintals per acre." |
 |
| This year, Anh Son district planted short-day, drought-resistant rice varieties such as Kinh Su Uu 1588, TH 3-5, VTNA 2, Gia Loc 105, SL9... during the summer-autumn crop season. |
 |
| In Anh Son district, 2,719 hectares were cultivated, with an average yield of 45-50 quintals/hectare. Currently, combine harvesters have reached the villages, and farmers no longer have to put in as much effort as before. |

| Gathering rice in the field |
 |
| People gather straw to store for their buffalo and cattle before the winter season. When the weather is favorable, the straw is dried right in the field. |
 |
| This is the most challenging time for farmers. However, the relatively high rice yield has somewhat compensated for the hard work and sweat that the farmers have put into the fields. |
