Cracked Paddy, Cracked Heart of Farmers

Fields are scorching nationwide due to the searing drought for 3 months. The hearts of the farmers, who are looking at the cracked paddy, are also cracked. It is tormenting just to see the farmers who are caressing the withered rice pads. Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts no rain for a while. A number of farmers still have not completed the rice transplantation and many of them have already given up their farming this year.
