Working the fields is a labor-intensive process that relies on time-honored techniques. Farmers move systematically through the dense stalks, using hand tools to cut and gather the mature rice. The gathered stalks are then brought to wooden threshers placed directly in the fields, where the grains are separated from the straw in a rhythmic, physical process. Every member of the community plays a role, sharing the heavy workload under the open sky.
