On August 23, a farmer drove a mini-harvester to harvest mid-season rice on the terraced fields of Huangniufeng Village, Jingzi Town, Shuangfeng County.

The mini harvesters are lightweight, affordable, and suitable for terraced fields in mountainous areas. In recent years, farmers have gradually adopted them to replace traditional manual harvesting method. They thus become the main force during autumn harvest period. (Photo/Li Jianxin)
