Rewrite the passage in the passive voice. Include the agent where necessary.
During the harvesting season, farmers cut the grain-laden rice stalks with sharp sickles. They feed
the stalks in bunches into machines which remove the paddy grains and discard the stubble. Next,
they place the paddy in another machine which separates the husks from the rice grains. Farm
workers then pack the rice in large gunny sacks. Lorries transport the sacks of rice to the mill.
At the mill, machines clean and polish the rice grains. The rice is now ready for distribution to
consumer markets.
