Issan Farmers

Well I could put this in the Farming Section ,but lets see how many Issan rice growers we have here:

With the Depression thats is giving us a lot of rain early this year, certainly in the Burriram area rice sowing is starting early:

What sort of yield would you think we will get this year ( I know how long is a piece of string)

Well, Nan has planted 2 rai, but is worried becouse "only have small rain". She expect the harvest keep the family with rice for the next year, and with some leftovers to sell to cover the cost of planting and harvesting.

But she is also optimistic since her nephew is doing is novice monk thing for his mother this year. So lots of luck for the family :-)

Else I dont really have a clue as I am not there yet. I will tell you in October/november when she says she will harvest. I will be there then :-)
