Day in picture

A farmer ploughs a rice field in Kampong Speu province, 50 km (31 miles) west of Phnom Penh, May 11, 2009. Cambodia will host the annual ploughing festival on Tuesday during which royal oxen will have to choose between seven bowls including rice, corn, green beans, grass, sesame, water and wine to predict the future of the farming season. The tradition, which is hundreds of years old, is followed closely by the nation's estimated 14 million people, the majority of whom are farmers.RUETERS/Chor Sokunthea (CAMBODIA ANIMALS AGRICULTURE)
