June 26, 2018 Ryukyu ShimpoThe harvest of the first crop of rice has started in Kin town, which is known as one of the foremost rice-producing areas in the prefecture.
Many farmers worked hard on harvesting golden rice swinging in the summer breeze under the strong sun in the rice paddies around town on June 25.
Sixty-seven-year-old Kennei Miyagi and two other farmers worked in the paddy in Yaka. Miyagi said, “The first crop has grown well and we have a good harvest. The second crop starts in August, so we have to hurry up,” as he wiped sweat from his forehead.
