Planters in season

(Baonghean.vn) - From early morning, hired rice planters have been going to the fields. Not only do they increase their income, their work also contributes to creating bumper crops.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoi, village 8, Khai Son commune (Anh Son), has been working as a hired transplanter for many years and said: Most of us who work as hired transplanters are women. Many families have fields but have not had time to plant rice yet, so they take advantage of the opportunity to work as hired transplanters to earn a little extra money. My family is the same, we have 3 sao of rice fields, but we wait until they finish planting rice for them before returning home. Each day, Ms. Hoi is paid 200,000 VND.

Every harvest season in Anh Son, there are hundreds of planters and plowmen.

In the field next door, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Nghi is also quickly finishing the last rows of rice. She said: Now many people want to rent, so there is no need to worry about unsold rice. When arriving, the owner and the workers agree on a price and go to the field right away. The work of planting for hire is quite hard because they have to bend their backs all day, soak their hands and feet in mud, but in return, the wages are quite high at 200,000 VND/day, so the people who plant for hire also have a decent amount of money to take care of their families...

The skillful, "professional" hands of the planters.

Talking to Mr. Tran Duy Hung in Khai Son commune, a person looking for workers to plant rice said: his family has 6 sao of rice fields, last year it took about 3 days to pull out the rice seedlings and plant them, but this year he has no one to do it so he had to hire workers to plant rice, with an area of ​​6 sao, he had to hire 4 people and plant for 2 days, calculating that after the season, he also lost about 1.6 million VND in wages, knowing that this amount is quite large compared to farmers, but still had to hire workers to keep up with the season.

Each day, the workers are paid 200,000 VND. However, the work is quite hard, requiring diligence and hard work.

Another method that farmers often use to plant rice on time is to exchange labor. This means that several households join together to plant rice. After finishing one household, they move on to another household until all households are finished. With this method, farmers do not have to pay rent and still keep up with the season.

In addition to the job of planting rice for hire, this season, the hired plowmen also earn a decent income. This spring, Mr. Nguyen Trong An's family in Khai Son commune invested 150 million VND to buy a plow. It is the peak planting season so Mr. An's plow must work at full capacity. Each day, he works about 3 sao, each sao is paid 200 thousand VND for labor. By the end of the season, Mr. An earns 40-50 million VND.

During this season, plowmen also earn a considerable amount of money.

In Anh Son, every planting season, hundreds of people go to work as hired rice farmers and plowers. Although planting and plowing are hard and tiring, they also help farmers earn extra income, regulate labor in the countryside and contribute to bumper harvests./.
