I was so stunned to discover that rice is being grown around here that I immediately bought a packet. It never occurred to me this was an area where that could be done. Of course, it’s rained for two weeks, so it’s getting close to looking like a natural rice field but still.

Apparently it’s grown in specially irrigated fields around where the Mississippi used to flood the grower’s cornfields. That’s why he turned to rice.
