Rice Harvest Time In Isaan

Recommended Posts

The rice harvest is under way - gruelling hours are being spend in the fields.

My wife is currently working on the harvest, she has been acquiring more and more land over the last few years, to the point where there are not enough people to do the harvest. She is now bugging me to buy a combine hartvester for next year's harvest.

Has anyone got experience of one?

I've found the web sites of a couple of Thai manufactures. I understand that they cost over a million baht and that you can charge 400 baht per rai to harvest other people's rice.

I guess drying the rice could be a problem but once you get into buying commercial dryers you really need more than one harvester to justify it? Any advice would be welcome - rice yields, prices, etc?
