Bali Rice worker


These workers still plant all of this rice by hand.
The small clumps of rice are held together, and each individual rice plant is then put into place by hand. Rows are all planted at different times so there are always plants to be harvested.

Due to tremendous pride of the Bali people, they still plant rice barefoot, and with large hats to protect them from the sun.

Not enough rice is produced to feed the population, but they still are a proud, hard working group of people who smile often.
