Rice is the main crop grown in Indonesia China, Thailand as well as in other Asian countries. In many places in the world, rice is the staple, or main, food. It is a plant that requires plenty of water and heat. It is well suited to the tropical climate of Indonesia. On Java, the rains are so plentiful that it is possible to grow three or more rice crops a year.
Rice fields are called paddy fields. They have low walls around them because they have to be flooded with water. In hilly areas, the paddy fields are terraced down the hill- sides. In spring the soil is ploughed in order to stir up the soil ready for planting the seedlings.(kidcyber) |

Hallo from Germany!
For Central European eyes an unusual view! A very impresive, beautiful and interesting poto. Perhaps the most important plant of our planet ...
Greetings!
Frank
