Deepwater Rice - Brian Taylor

Deepwater Rice - visits to the Rajshahi area - Rajshahi District, Bangladesh

On our first visit 1 July 1982, we tried to get to a dwr site past Raja village - the road did not look promising but ...
and so it proved

Ahsan managed to get the Land Rover balanced on the differential boxes
thank goodness for the tea shop

Our second visit took us across the Ganges at the Hardinge Bridge, en route from Faridpur to Ishurdi, 20 October 1982
