One of the women whose task it is to prepare and transport the rice seedlings to the planters.
A mosaic of paddies with the colors indicating where the rice has been planted and where it is in the process of being planted. You can see the small bundles of rice seedlings floating on top of the water in the paddies to the left.
In large operations the men usually take charge of water distribution. They use tools shaped like mattocks and shovels to open the dikes to let the water flow downhill into the paddies.
As the paddies fill the teamsters smooth out the clods of soil and then the women being planting.
