Eye opener...

Went to Sekinchan, Selangor to find out more about commercial padi planting and its an eye opener. Looking at what we have in Lot Padi Sengkuang Labi today, there is a lot for us to do in order to produce what the country expects to be produced from the area, e.g. land clearing & preparation, water/irrigation system, support from national/local agencies and other required/necessary assistance. Hopefully we will be able to unravel these as we go along.

Thanks to Pehin Aziz and Dato Jumat for making the visit possible. Too much information to be absorbed in such a short time but its worth the trip.

Here are just some of the photos. For more, click on the link at the bottom of the photos.

Padi Laila... In response to His Majesty's Titah.

In only over a month after we first visited Pehin Aziz's padi field in Wasan we went again this morning to see harvesting in progress and had the opportunity to experience harvesting ourselves. Thanks Pehin Aziz and Dato Jumat for the invitation, hospitality and sharing their experience.

And since the last visit to our project in Lot Padi Sengkuang, Labi, the area being cleared gets larger each day...

Inspirational

As part of our effort to learn more about padi planting, we were really grateful to Pehin Aziz (and Hj Zak) for their time to take us around their padi field in Wasan and sharing tips and experiences. We hope one day we will be able to produce padi from our land in Lot Sengkuang Labi. So far, we only managed to manually clear the land and it surely took a lot of effort by my brother and our helpers to get to this result
