A farmer in a conical hat navigates a muddy rice paddy field with a transplanter machine. The machine carries seedlings ready for planting. The field is flooded and deeply rutted. Other workers and equipment are visible in the background on raised sections of the paddy. Trees line the horizon under a cloudy sky. The farmer wears a blue shirt and dark shorts, his legs covered in mud.
