webfact Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Drought strangling 4,000 rai of rice in Phichit, farmers plead for help By The Nation A massive 4,000 rai of rice in Phichit is dying due to the prolonged drought, forcing farmers to demand that the government create artificial rain to tackle the problem immediately. Normally, rice plantations in the province rely on provincial irrigation during the rainy season, but the drought this year is playing havoc, much to the misery of farmers. Pratuan Rungchat, a farmer in Nong Pla Lai sub-district, said he planted rice when there was some rain, but then the rain disappeared.
