Story from Jam Press (Straw Truck)
Pictured: Straw farmers carry an enormous load on their small truck.
Rick-straw! Men carry enormous bale which dwarfs tiny, three-wheeled truck
A group of men were able to carry an enormous bale of straw on a three-wheeled truck.
The four men were able to get it on and off using giant canes.
They then sold the paddy straw at markets to farmers.
The size of the loads was at least double the size of the brightly coloured vehicles they used.
The incredible scenes in Kazipur Upazila, Sirajganj District, Bangladesh were captured by photographer Syed Mahabubul Kader and shared with What'sTheJam (https://whatsthejam.com/).
Paddy straw is typically sold for £5.50 per 100kg to wholesalers.
The straw is then sold by the wholesalers for up to £8.
Farmers use hay as food and bedding for their livestock.
But it is also used for various other purposes including house canopies and a form of biofuel.
