Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step of harvesting is draining the paddy. Next, farmers cut the plants -- with a scythe or sickle if by hand -- and transport them elsewhere to be laid out and dried for two or three days. Rice can be cut by hand or machine. In the developed world, harvesting by hand is still very common.
