- Description
Korean farming focuses on traditional ways of rice farming throughout an entire season. Farming is done by hand with only the use of cattle and handmade tools to do planting, shoveling, plowing, and monitor irrigation. In the spring rice fields are prepared with shovels used to sling mud and dirt to make room for irrigation in the rice paddies. Summer monsoons cause sand to enter the fields and have to be removed before planting seeds. Later in the season variations of rice products are shown being made and sold in market. The film was donated in an edited version. There is another version showing a stone Buddha statue in the opening. (Refer to the related resources.)
