Harvesting lodged wheat with sickles after rain

This video shows farmers manually harvesting lodged wheat with sickles after rain. Wet and soft soil after rainfall easily causes large-scale wheat lodging. Large harvesters cannot enter the fields, and forced harvesting leads to massive grain loss. Manual reaping with sickles becomes the most reliable remedy. Lodged wheat ears lie close to the ground, resulting in large blind areas and heavy losses for mechanical harvesting. Reaping row by row close to the ground with sickles effectively protects wheat ears and cuts grain waste. Timely manual harvesting on sunny days avoids mildew caused by subsequent rains, secures grain output and minimizes economic losses from field disasters.
