See the traditional farming style of the Thai people in Nghe An

(Baonghean.vn) - Currently, the Thai people in some villages in the western districts of Nghe An such as Con Cuong, Tuong Duong, Que Phong... are still maintaining the ancient farming method. Instead of plowing and harrowing as usual, this method is done by using buffaloes and cows to walk back and forth in the field many times to soften the soil, which is called "ploughing".is "on na".

In some mountainous districts of Nghe An such as Tuong Duong, Quy Hop, Que Phong... farmers still practice this primitive form of farming.

This farming method is often done on terraced fields or areas with soft, watery soil. In the photo, Mr. Lo Van Tu, Khot village, Lien Hop commune, Quy Hop district, is "picking na".

In the mountainous areas of Nghe An, not only adults but also small children help their parents "harvest na". In the photo, two children in Na Khom village, Yen Na commune, Tuong Duong district are working in the fields for their parents.

The steps of buffalo and cows are like plows and harrows in the fields.

Partly due to the mountainous terrain and economic conditions that do not allow it, and especially the long-standing customs of the Thai people, many places are still "shy" when it comes to planting. People also say that this method helps the soil to soften deeper and retain water better.

After the mud is soft, people use wooden rakes to level the ground.

The rice fields have just been planted.

Currently, although agricultural production in the Western Nghe An region has been mechanized, in many places people still farm using the "on na" method.
