Farmers in the highlands of Que Phong and Quy Chau start the 2024 spring crop

The weather has turned cold and drizzly in recent days. However, the daytime temperature is still around 18 - 23 degrees Celsius, so farmers in Ban Bon block, Kim Son town and Ban Tang, Tien Phong commune, Que Phong district still go to the fields to produce the 2024 spring crop. Photo: Nguyen Dao

According to information from Tien Phong commune authorities, in the 2024 spring crop, the whole commune has 297 hectares of wet rice. Currently, the weather is not too cold and there is light rain, so the fields retain water. This is a favorable condition for farmers to plant the spring crop. Photo: Nguyen Dao

According to Mr. Tu, this year people are planting hybrid rice varieties 986, Phu Uu 987, Japonica J09, Nep 97... Photo: Huu Vi

Meanwhile, in the border commune of Tri Le (Que Phong), farmers have basically finished plowing their rice fields. This is the area that produces “cay noi” (chicken) rice, a specialty of the Thai people in Tri Le. Japonica rice has also been grown by Tri Le farmers for over 10 years. Photo: Nguyen Dao

In Chau Tien commune, Quy Chau district, where there are more than 250 hectares of rice fields, farmers have started planting spring crops for the past 4 or 5 days. Photo: Nguyen Dao

In Chau Tien commune, before planting the spring crop, farmers often install waterwheels on rivers and streams to irrigate their fields. For many households whose fields are higher than rivers and streams, the waterwheels have an important meaning related to the success or failure of their rice crops. Photo: Huu Vi
