Cuban Farmer Guiding Oxen Through Flooded Rice Paddy in along freshly irrigated rows in Cuba

Cuban Farmer Guiding Oxen Through Flooded Rice Paddy

by Angelina Neal

Darkened earth churns into deep, puddled ruts where rain has recently settled, reflecting the flat, white glare of noon. A farmer sits atop a wooden cart, silhouetted against the intense tropical brightness, guiding a team of oxen through the waterlogged rows. The animals' wet hides glisten under the harsh light as they plow the submerged field, their hooves disturbing the muddy surface. Tall green rice shoots stand in the flooded channels, swaying slightly in the still air. The scene shows the rhythm of wet season agriculture in Cuba, where the soil is heavy and the water deep. A shadow stretches long across the muddy water, marking the position of the cart wheels.
