Before They Plant it

Those are how the rice plant look before they start planting it, they plant it first until it grow a little and they take it and group them into several parts and tie them to be replanted according to predetermined distances. This also pretty interesting because they are still doing it manually, using human power to plant all the rice. Ohh one more thing I just remember, they tie the rice plant with part of a large rice stalk, which turned out to be strong enough to bind.
