Crop’s In The Field

Looking good so far! Rice crop could be best in Cambodia.

Looking good so far! Rice crop could be best in Cambodia.

Hey! We have what appears to be one of the best rice crops in Cambodia. We are working feverishly to try and construct a concrete drying platform, which looks like a runway for an airplane, before the rains make it impossible to build, or the rice crop matures. Bob Richards, literally an old (sorry Bob) set manager, for John Wayne, (No wonder I like the guy!) sent us about 1/2 what we need for this project. I thought I had it all, and then these 75 new kids showed up.

Help! I wish I had more recent pictures of it, but some “dirty rat” stole our camera right out from under Paul Mok’s pillow (our farm manager) while he was sleeping. It ate a hole in the leather case, and dragged it off the porch where he sleeps, into a mud puddle. These photos are about one week old,  but that dark green stuff? It is going to produce about six tons of paddy rice per hectare, if we can harvest, dry, and store it.
