To harvest rice, farmers drain, cut and dry. The first step of harvesting is draining the paddy. Next, farmers cut the plants -- with a scythe or sickle if by hand -- and transport them elsewhere to be laid out and dried for two or three days. Rice can be cut by hand or machine
Storing grain is done to reduce grain loss to weather, moisture, rodents, birds, insects and micro-organisms. Usually rice should be stored in paddy form rather than milled rice as the husk provides some protection against insects.
The cultivation of rice begins by planting water-soaked seeds in a properly prepared bed. Oftentimes, the seedlings are transplanted to the paddy when they reach a certain size. When the grains begin to ripen, the water is drained from the fields. Harvesting begins when the grain yellow and the plants start to droop.
