All about Rice-Growing

Culvert (ankyo) construction In rice field which Rice Reaping ended, many farming families do culvert (ankyo) construction using chaff. Because it is serious clay, soil of rice field of Ogata-mura must do drainage measure almost every year. Several of them dig groove of 150 meters in length X 20 centimeters in width X around 1 meter in depth in rice field, too and bury pipe for drainage in the groove and put chaff in the top. Because this chaff rots sometime soon, then culvert is to have to construct again. Culvert construction is fate to continue agriculture in Ogata-mura.
	In the days of the first snow of the year When it is the middle in January, early winter news arrives from north country. It is the first snow of the year and is call of large swan. When first snow falls, Ogata-mura is snowy or is ear of Japanese pampas grass, or it does not often know at time when ear of Japanese pampas grass flies to wind. When it is the middle of November, swan comes flying one after another, too and makes group everywhere of rice field and eats gleanings absorbedly. In addition, there is a crowd of cancers which made duck big among groups of swan a lot. I hardly understand, but Ogata-mura is like paradise where there are both bait and home for wild bird and is with village of treasure which chicken is like mountain which is rare for various places of fair of wild bird that the chicken is studied.
