A farmer cleans unhusked rice from dirt and dried stalks in Wongkaditi village, Gorontalo in northern Sulawesi on Wednesday. Farmers in the area have seen fewer crops come to harvest because of water shortages brought about by a prolonged drought. A 2,500 square meter field currently only produces 14 to 16 sacks of unhusked rice on average, a fall from from 18 to 20 sacks in previous seasons.(JP/Syamsul Huda M. Suhari) (JP/Syamsul Huda M.
