Historical Agricultural Scenes

Images depicting rice farmers and various agricultural activities in Southeast Asia, showcasing traditional farming practices and crop diversity.

At the turn of the 20th century, the vast majority of Siamese were rice farmers who lived and worked along waterways. A perfect climate, fertile soil and an excellent irrigation system lent to some farmers enjoying three rice harvests a year. Farmers were also able to grow maize, corn, wheat and barley. Other crops include beans, peas, garlic, cauliflower, melons, pumpkin, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, mustard seed, mangoes, oranges, sugar cane, papaya, sago, opium poppies, many spices, coffee, tea, cotton and tobacco.

Tobacco was the main cash crop for much of Eastern NC in the 1960's. The flu-cured tobacco required that after picking the leaves be strung on poles and put inside a tobacco barn, where the leaves were slowly heated and dried.
