World Geography

Wet Rice Growing

Wet rice growing takes place in Asia: for example in areas of China Japan and India. Wet rice
needs a high temperature in the growing season i.e. at least 200C for 3 or 4 months, and it also
needs a rainfall of about 1.800mm during that season. The rice must be under water about
l5Omm deep for most of the growing period. As a result, it is usually grown near a river in
small level fields which are surrounded by low earth walls. The farms are usually quite small -
about one or two hectares in area. Although rice growing requires a lot of work, very few rice
farmers use machinery. This means that rice growing is labour intensive, that is to say, a lot of
people have to work in the rice fields.

At the beginning of the growing season, the farmers have to repair the low earth walls around
the fields. Then they have to prepare the soil so that it is thick and muddy. After this, they
must sow the seeds in special beds and then, later, plant the seedlings in rows in the soil. It
takes about four months for the rice to become ripe. A few weeks before harvesting, they have
to remove the water from the fields. Finally, the farmers harvest the rice, cutting it with a knife.

World Geography

Dairy Cattle

Keeping cows for milk is common in many parts of the world, except for China. Dairy farms are
usually quite small. In Europe, the average size is 10 hectares, with about 9 cows in a herd. The
cows graze on grass in the summer. In colder climates, the cows are kept indoors in cowsheds
in the winter, and are fed on hay.

The dairy farmer has to milk the cows twice a day, every day of the year. Farmers do this by
hand or with machines. They then have to prepare the milk for selling. In the summer, they
have to repair the sheds and they have to cut the hay for the winter food. In the autumn,
farmers must plough the fields and sow the grass seed. Although dairy farmers use machines
such as tractors, they still have to work hard.
