Today we headed out to the Tanbo to plant a mass of rice.
The weather was slightly overcast and moody with the occasional spot of rain here and there.
I was being held responsible for spreading ammonia across the paddy with the myster.
I took quite a few of the locals by surprise in doing so, I don’t think Ibraki has seen to many Englishman work the tanbo before.
The myster is a fairly heavy piece of kit but great fun to use and for those that can deal with the weight I seriously recommend you get involved if you get the opportunity.
Using it has been a great experience for me and working on the various tanbos over the past week or so has given me a great insight into rice farming techniques.
As a team I felt we worked together well and planted an abundance of rice which will hopefully yield a successful crop.
It has been a genuine pleasure to have played a part in the process.
