Louisiana Rice Harvest
It's definitely not your usual kind of farming! Louisiana farmer Christian Richard will harvest some six million pounds of rice this season, but he'll also bring in a tasty crop of crawfish from the same fields. Louisiana rice is shipped around the world and is an important ingredient in humanitarian food efforts in Haiti and elsewhere.

Such a fresh and organic harvest
beautiful wife!
My friend christan
Oh
If you pull up a rice plant by the roots at harvest you'll find the seed husk from the seed that was planted still attached to the roots.
😍😍😍
great farms
No idea that southern folk loved rice ! Though the staple was potato chips . Very cool !
Lol I left my engineering class to be a mason
Hi. Where does the straw go. Do you feed the straw to animals?
Still can't beat original basmati rise from Pakistan.
Umm the only harvest that was done here was the Crawfish other than that it was just planting rice.
Great job and many thanks to all the farmers for a job well done The world will never survive without farmers . 🇱🇷&🇨🇮 .
In the far east don't they raise shrimp in their rice fields? Thanks for a very good video. didn't know about the muc bugs growing in the rice fields
Not worth it... Too much water for such a low price product.... if you're gonna flood the field try growing avocados....

Russell Anderson crawfish love shallow water, the pretty much come from the ground and flourish in the wet environment, weather has a lot to do with a good or bad crawfish season
"Never criticize a Farmer with your mouth full" This was said to me at school 50 years ago and it still is in my head.
US farmer.. 👍👍👍
Thank fossil fuels for providing the energy to make, and run farm machinery so farmers can grow enough food to feed everybody.

Pretty soon we'll be back to thanking the lightgiver Sun for providing the energy to uor solar panels so that we can run electric machinery. I know this was a jab at hippy liberals who are anti-fossil fuel usage, but without oil and coal, we would still have enough food to feed everyone. The only difference would be an increase in the number of farmers.

The double edge sword of fossil fuels will be the CO2 emissions that will cause climates to change in sudden and harsh manners leading to failed crop yields, lesser variety, and eventually inability to produce much of any food. We need to be looking to the future, solar, wind, and especially LFTR fission and ultimately ITER/Wendelstein 7x fusion to energize grids to produce enough electricity CO2 free and without much waste to none at all in huge quantities that producing H2 via electrolysis of H2O (water) can run machines via an H2 fuel cell. Much like the early 1900's people thanks the machines to produce food until the dust bowl, then realized how to properly teal top soil. We really need to thank continued innovation and not sit on our laurels thanking passing technologies.

Amazing rice looks more intense then some fruits and veg's . And you get crawfish in the mix I wonder if growing rice hydroponically could be used for mass production like large fields of inground swimming pools
Amazing. farmers in the USA and the WEST can afford hundred thousand dollar equipment like the trucks and the combines. here in the Philippines from birth to adulthood i still see our farmers still losing money even when they are using water buffalo and with no automation.

Well i don't meant autonomous machines. i meant tools that the farmers themselves can use. its not going to replace them because they will be the one operating it.
We asians plant it expertly.

Completely misleading documentary. Farming in the US is not as powerful as they make it seem in this documentary. The extreme majority of, not only rice but everything, is imported. :o

michael wind People wash your rice at least 3 times with white until white cloudy water is gone. No loss of nutrient what so ever.

That is an awesome video. I never knew anything rice farming. Growing up on a farm here in KY, all we raised was hay, cattle, and tobacco.
Looks like southern farmers wash their tractors as often as they brush their tooth.

What makes the crawfish work for you? You have to reflood how soon after harvest? Do they grow all winter if they have the water? What variety of crayfish do you grow?
You are great you didnt throw other farmers under the bus. So many times I see one farmer do that to another You people are great.
I meant crawfish!
What does crayfish do?

Arsenic in toxic levels in this rice. It's not the farmers fault, rice naturally absorbs arsenic from the water efficiently.
Great video
