Recorded at the rice fields of Van Tu commune, Yen Thanh, the harvest atmosphere is quite bustling. In the fields, farmers are busy harvesting rice. Mr. Tran Van Tuan, a local farmer, said: “My family harvested 3 sao of Khang Dan rice, but this year the yield is only about 2.5 quintals/sao, down nearly 1 quintal compared to last year. Many other fields that have not been harvested also show signs of empty grains.”
According to the representative of Van Tu Commune People's Committee, this spring crop, the whole commune planted more than 800 hectares of rice, mainly varieties such as Khang Dan and BTR 225. The average yield is expected to reach only about 2.5 quintals/sao. The reason is said to be due to erratic weather, especially during the flowering stage when the rice encountered prolonged cloudy weather. In addition, some households still use seeds of unknown origin, floating on the market, affecting the quality of the crops.

A similar situation occurred in Nam Thanh commune. Mr. Nguyen Huu Toan's family in Vinh Thanh hamlet said that this year they planted 3 sao of rice but only harvested about 2.5 quintals/sao, while last season they achieved 3.8 quintals/sao.
On the contrary, many households in Nam Thanh commune still have a good harvest thanks to the use of high-quality rice varieties provided by Nam Thanh Agricultural Service Cooperative. Mr. Phan Cong Tang in Phan Dang Luu hamlet said: "My family planted 4 sao of R225 rice varieties of the cooperative, using synchronous machinery from planting, spreading fertilizer to spraying pesticides by plane, so the yield reached 3.6 quintals/sao."
Mr. Hoang Van Sam - Chairman of Nam Thanh Commune People's Committee said: This spring crop, the commune planted about 260 hectares of rice, and has now harvested 20% of the area. The estimated yield is about 6.5 tons/ha, lower than the previous crop. The main reason for the decrease in yield is spontaneous sowing, and the cold weather at the time of rice flowering, causing many rice areas to have low yields. However, about 100 hectares of rice using seeds from the cooperative still have stable yields.
Mr. Nguyen Tho Trang - Director of Nam Thanh Agricultural Service Cooperative shared: "This crop, the Cooperative supplied R225 rice variety (ThaiBinh Seed), combined with promoting mechanization in cultivation, fertilizing with proper techniques, and using spraying aircraft, so the rice yield reached over 7.1 tons/ha."
Mr. Le Van Hong - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Yen Thanh district said: "The whole district planted more than 12,790 hectares of spring rice, mainly Khang Dan variety. The average yield is estimated at about 7 tons/ha. However, about 150 hectares have empty grains. The main reasons are unfavorable weather at flowering time, the use of floating varieties, and some localities not following the district's crop calendar. The district is directing localities to take advantage of favorable weather to urgently harvest ripe rice areas to limit damage caused by extreme weather such as storms.

In Quy Hop district, many localities are currently entering the rice harvest season. Ms. Vi Thi Minh, residing in Chau Ly commune, said that because the fields are located in narrow areas, harvesters cannot enter, so her family has to harvest by hand. This spring crop, her family planted 4 sao of rice, mainly Long Huong 8118 variety, achieving a yield of over 3 quintals/sao.
According to Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Quy Hop district, the whole district has more than 2,500 hectares of spring rice. This year, the rice crop is good with an estimated yield of 6.2 tons/ha. The rice variety structure mainly includes 70% hybrid varieties and 30% pure varieties. Currently, communes such as Chau Ly, Chau Thai, Chau Quang, Chau Dinh have harvested over 300 hectares. To be proactive in the harvesting stage, the district has directed the mobilization of more than 40 harvesters to serve the people.
In Dien Chau district, some rice areas are also being harvested early.
