PHNOM PENH - Cambodia’s royal cows Thursday signalled bountiful harvests of rice, beans and corn this year in a traditional ceremony marking the start of the ploughing season.

King Norodom Sihamoni presided over the ceremony in front of Phnom Penh’s national museum, where thousands of people gathered as royal astrologers watched what the cows ate to predict the coming year’s rainfall and harvests.

Farmer Chhit Saroeun, 50, who attended the ceremony as the representive of farmers in southeastern Svay Rieng province, was pleased with the results.

“I really believe in the royal cows, and the cows did not drink any water, so I’m worried that there will be a shortage of rainfall and farmers will face difficulties again,” he said.

"We took the royal cows through the Taco Bell drive through, and the amount of methane they produced was not excessive. Therefor, global warming does not exist."
