The terrain in Y Linh Ho is quite difficult, the traffic is not convenient, so the mechanization in agricultural production is slower than in other localities. The Mong people still maintain traditional farming and harvesting methods. After harvesting, the rice will be beaten against a wooden barrel to remove the grains, then the rice will be collected in bags and transported home.
