The document discusses the various stages in the harvesting and processing of cañas, or reed stalks, for construction purposes. It describes the following steps: 1) Harvesting of mature cañas between February and April using sickles, machetes and pruning shears. 2) Cleaning of the cañas by removing leaves, nodes and mud with the help of hoes and rakes. 3) Classification of the cañas by thickness and length using a measuring caliper, with reeds then bundled for transportation.
