Weeding, is a tedious job for a Farmer. He has to wear straw hat, soak his feet barefooted in the muddy rice paddies, bend his waist to pull up the weeds, but burying them again to serve as fertilizer. It is "killing two birds with one stone"!
When we werechildren, we were told to" eat up every grain of rice in the bowl"! We must be grateful to the Farmer for the rice we eat. It"s all his labor: planting rice grain, then transplanting the seedlings to the rice paddies, weeding and harvesting. Under the heat of the sun, usually all day long! So, each rice grain is like a tiny white pearl, too precious to be wasted away!
At the green and glossy field, the Farmer does his job day after day. Weeding is part of the rice production process, following it no matter how tiresome, only then he can be assured of a plentiful harvest.
After the weeding process, he can watch the rice plant grow taller and wait for the rice grain
to appear and full, ready for a bountiful harvest!
Toucheng Leisure Farm has a rice culture area where one can act as a farmer for a day.
If you visit us, you can join the activity of transplanting rice seedlings in the rice paddies.
