  • 29 JUNE 2013 - BATTAMBANG, CAMBODIA:   A loaded tractor leaves a rice mill in Reang Keseil near Battambang. The mill is next to the tracks that carry the "bamboo trains." The bamboo train, called a norry (nori) in Khmer is a 3m-long wood frame, covered lengthwise with slats made of ultra-light bamboo, that rests on two barbell-like bogies, the aft one connected by fan belts to a 6HP gasoline engine. The train runs on tracks originally laid by the French when Cambodia was a French colony. Years of war and neglect have made the tracks unsafe for regular trains.  Cambodians put 10 or 15 people on each one or up to three tonnes of rice and supplies. They cruise at about 15km/h. The Bamboo Train is very popular with tourists and now most of the trains around Battambang will only take tourists, who will pay a lot more than Cambodians can, to ride the train.

  • 09 MAY 2016 - BAN CHAN, SURIN, THAILAND:   A farmer prepares his rice fields for planting in Surin, Thailand. Normally the fields would have been prepped in April and rice planted in May but farmers are several weeks behind schedule because of the drought in Thailand. Thailand is in the midst of its worst drought in more than 50 years. The government has asked farmers to delay planting their rice until the rains start, which is expected to be in June. The drought is expected to cut Thai rice production and limit exports of Thai rice. The drought, caused by a very strong El Nino weather pattern is cutting production in the world's top three rice exporting countries:  India, Thailand and Vietnam. Rice prices in markets in Thailand and neighboring Cambodia are starting to creep up.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 09 MAY 2016 - BAN CHAN, SURIN, THAILAND:   A farmer prepares his rice fields for planting in Surin, Thailand. Normally the fields would have been prepped in April and rice planted in May but farmers are several weeks behind schedule because of the drought in Thailand. Thailand is in the midst of its worst drought in more than 50 years. The government has asked farmers to delay planting their rice until the rains start, which is expected to be in June. The drought is expected to cut Thai rice production and limit exports of Thai rice. The drought, caused by a very strong El Nino weather pattern is cutting production in the world's top three rice exporting countries:  India, Thailand and Vietnam. Rice prices in markets in Thailand and neighboring Cambodia are starting to creep up.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 06 AUGUST 2020 - FAIRFIELD, IOWA: People lean against a John Deere 4020 tractor and watch the bidding during the auction on the Adam Farm near Fairfield. Gary Adam, 72 years old, has been farming in the Fairfield area since 1971. He decided to retire this year because he wants to travel and because it's so difficult to make money in farming this year. He said he wants to "shed the risk and responsibility. If things were super good, like they were 2006-2012, I might stay in it, but they're not." Adam did not sell the tractor because it was the first tractor he bought when he started farming. The 4020 tractor was produced from 1964 to 1972. An increasing number of farmers in the Midwest are retiring this year as it becomes harder to make money on crops. In addition to low prices, Iowa farmers are being hit with a drought this year, with well below average rain over most of the state. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the auction on Adam's farm was one of the first live in person auctions since winter. Most auctions are now done on line.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 04 NOVEMBER 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Volunteers stir vats of clothes being dyed black at Krungthai Tractor. About 150 volunteers are working at Krungthai Tractor in Bangkok to dye clothes black for people in mourning following the death of Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand. The government declared a one year mourning period, during which Thais are encouraged to wear black and a 30 day mourning period during which Thais are very strongly encouraged to wear black. Furthermore, black is mandatory for official mourning functions, including visits to the Grand Palace and Sanam Luang, the public ceremonial ground across the street from the Palace. The expectation to wear black created a shortage of black clothes in many markets and Thailand's poor couldn't afford what black clothes were still available. Community groups have started dyeing clothes for people who either can't find or can't afford black clothes. The clothes dyeing volunteers at Krungthai Tractor were organized by Thai actress Chompoo Araya A. Hargate and Thai fashion blogger Chavaporn Laohapongchana.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The expectation to wear black created a shortage of black clothes in many markets and Thailand's poor couldn't afford what black clothes were still available. Community groups have started dyeing clothes for people who either can't find or can't afford black clothes.
