Description: One of a series of pictures depicting rice cultivation.
Here the field is being leveled until it is completely under water. Some material has been removed from the edge of the next higher field and used to build a barrier on the lower field. This process over the years results in the paddies gradually working their way up the hill. Keywords: Carl Hosticka, Nepal Photo History Project, Peace Corp Photo History, agriculture, plowing
