The primary crop of many of our hosts in Borneo was rice. I remember seeing a lot of rice paddies over the course of our stay there. We also went to the hills and saw highland slash and burn agriculture, but mostly I remember rice grown in paddies.
Here are some shots of rice farming taken by my dad. He grouped these three shots together so I’m keeping them just that way.
On a side note, I really don’t need to keep the slides once I’m done with them. I’ve contacted a group of scholars who, back in the day, were probably involved academically with my dad and asked if they wanted them. We’ll see. There aren’t any notes to go along with them so they’ll be of limited value, but I’ve no one to leave them to (unless there are a few with me in them…those may stay in the family).
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
