I watched this guy for some time. He is harvesting rice seedlings and at some point will transfer them to a fresh field. I'm not sure how he actually harvests the seedlings - he seems to pull a group of seedlings horizontally then bangs the group of seedlings against his foot (shaking water out) then wraps them and puts them into the stack to his left
