Traditional Taiwan Plowing
Water buffalo and oxen are now rarely seen in Taiwan plowing rice fields. An article in the March 06, 2017 Taipei Times said that there were about 99 water buffaloes in use in Taiwan in 2015. (http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2017/03/06/2003666239) Now, big tractors are commonly seen in the fields of Taiwan. This ox was plowing a rice field near Shueilin Township in Yunlin County, Taiwan. May 1, 2018
