Farming.

| 29 June 1965 – Additional labor on the farm comes from people who are hired and those who are called in to help. It is necessary to hire planters for rice farming because people have fields both at home and in Thunglaw. They want to finish at home early then move on to Thunglaw, so help alone is not enough. | Punch card
