17、out 1800 mm during that period. The rice must be under water about 150 mm deep for most of the growing season. So wet rice is usually grown near a river in low level fields. The farms are usually quite smallabout 1530 Chinese Mu in area. Although rice growing needs a lot of work, very few rice farme

24、o crowded. They move down to the low land.
