The sounds of water pumps and tractors, along with the sight of farmers covered in silt, signaled a busy rush to prepare for the new season: the Winter-Spring rice crop.

This period is vital to ensuring the land is prepared and seeds are planted on time, laying the groundwork for a bumper harvest.
