Land to the Tillers reshapes rural South Vietnam
In 1970 South Vietnam began a land to the tiller program granting title to plots once held by tenants. By its third anniversary about 2.5 million acres had been distributed with aid from the U S Agency for International Development and government backing. Farmers keep paddies tended by water buffalo, while villagers maintain ancestral tombs on redistributed plots.
