Going to the fields for the Winter-Spring crop

These days, across the fields on the outskirts of Da Nang city, farmers are busy preparing for the winter-spring rice crop. This is the most important rice crop of the year for farmers. The fertility of the soil, replenished after the floods, as well as the warm and mild weather, will nourish the rice plants better.

Despite the harsh winter weather, the land begins to transform after the rainy season. Rice seedlings sprout green across the fields, and farmers enthusiastically plow and cultivate, placing their hopes on a bountiful harvest.

Plowing, a process of leveling the field before planting, also helps the soft mud adhere more firmly to the rice grains, allowing them to "settle" more securely. Photo: NGUYEN HUU TAN
