I am told the drying of rice is called lua. The process seemed to occupy a lot of roadway as smaller farms had little room to place the drying tarps in front of their homes and elsewhere. In addition to rice grasses that might have been hay were also aired out on tarps and in many cases on the roads. I don't recall riding over rice but it was necessary to drive over straw often.
