(Baonghean.vn) - These days, the mountainous district of Tuong Duong begins its harvest season. On the terraced rice fields, the villagers are bustling with activity, some carrying baskets on their backs, others hauling threshing machines, and still others leading buffaloes...
This year, due to the hot weather, the yield of summer-autumn rice crops has decreased significantly in many areas. Currently, Tuong Duong district has 670 hectares of rice paddies, most of which produce two rice crops per year. Communes such as Tam Quang, Tam Dinh, Tam Thai, and Nga My have the largest area of paddy rice production in the district.
Here are some photos of the summer-autumn rice harvest in Tuong Duong:

| With favorable weather conditions these days, people in many communes in Tuong Duong district have begun harvesting rice on their terraced fields. |
 |
| Due to the unique characteristic of terraced rice fields, which occupy a large portion of the cultivated area, farmers mainly harvest rice by hand. |
 |
| Bringing manual threshing machines to the fields is a way to shorten the harvesting time for the summer-autumn crop. |

| A family in Son Ha village, Tam Quang commune, is threshing rice in their field. |
 |
| They use wheelbarrows to transport straw to the drying area, waiting for it to dry completely before bringing it back home to feed the buffaloes during the cold winter days. |
 |
| Bring fresh straw home for the buffaloes. |

| Electric fans replace sieves. |
