Interesting rice cultivation practice

This is an unusual weather..it should be raining cats and dogs now, but it just drizzles once in a while. There was good summer rains and paddy fields have all the last harvests fallen seeds germinating which is a usual scene. But since there is no sufficient rain right now, farmers are not able to start the rice transplanting activities. Paddy nursery is ready and some lacks water and started getting a pale yellow color.

While waiting for the rain, some farmers observed that paddy fields is already has rice growing, why not utilize that. They are weeding that rice plants and planning to grow them. If it succeeds they have saved the cost of ploughing and transplanting. This is a true natural cultivation. I had read a similar report from some other area, last year.
