This method of raising ducks in rice-growing areas has long been a tradition in the country.
Thai people call it «ped lai thoong», which means «herding ducks».
Khaki Campbell ducks, a British breed, are brought into the rice fields after 20 days in the nursery and are kept moving over the next few months.
Two birds with one stone: breeders feed their ducks while cleaning the fields. Pretty smart, everyone benefits.
