Farmers plant rice seedlings in a paddy field on the outskirts of Yangon

Farmers plant rice seedlings in a paddy field on the outskirts of Yangon July 13, 2012. Change is sweeping Myanmar. In 12 months of reforms, the former military junta has embraced an economic and political opening that has won praise from Washington to Tokyo. But change is coming too slowly, or in the wrong forms, to the place where the great majority of Myanmar's people live: the farming heartland, which once led the world in rice exports before withering under half a century of military dictatorship.
