Rice seeds are sown close together, then transplanted when the plants are a few inches high. This woman is planting the rice seedlings in a bigger rice paddy, spacing them so they will have room to grow. The traditional way of growing rice requires a lot of water, which must come from rivers or canals during the dry season (nine months of the year).
