Rice rice baby

Vietnam is one of the largest growers of rice in the world.  I got to see the rice-growing process from the flooding of the paddies…

…to the harvest!  After the rice is harvested, it is spread out to dry on flat surfaces – in front of homes, even on the shoulders of the national highway!

Scenes from the rice paddies – leveling with water buffalo, weeding, and homemade tractor wheels.
