# Menjiang dengan landak untuk tanaman larikan lebih mudah dan tjepat (Weeding with the landak for row crops is easier and faster) (Indonesian poster distributed in Indonesia)

An agricultural-extension poster. A large spiked rotary hoe on a long handle is drawn in the sky above two farmers in conical hats weeding a rice field with a plain pole, with a volcano behind. The caption says weeding with the 'landak' tool for row-planted crops is easier and faster. The tell is plain-folks: ordinary farmers at work present a tool recommendation as everyday practice.
