Farmers in Ajibaho Village, Dusun VII Tanjung Marolan still utilize a simple equipment with human power to harvest rice. Some processes of harvest require longer time. It is started from cutting rice stalks, collecting rice stalks, and threshing rice by hitting it on a drum to thresh the rice from the stalks. After that, the rice was collected, put into white sack, and delivered to houses. This condition also depends on the weather which becomes longer when it is rain or sunny.
