How to Grow Rice (more) Efficiently
Could rice farming become more efficient without introducing new genes into the plant? A groundbreaking research study suggests it’s possible! This video explores how scientists have uncovered a method to potentially transform rice into a C4 plant, enhancing its photosynthesis process. The secret lies in activating existing, muted genes within the rice, making this breakthrough far simpler than previously believed.
C4 photosynthesis, commonly found in crops like maize and sugarcane, is known for its efficiency in water and nutrient use, as well as its ability to thrive in high-temperature conditions. If successfully applied to rice, this innovation could revolutionize rice farming by boosting yields and resilience-critical for feeding the world’s growing population.
However, this research isn’t without its challenges. In this video, I share not only the promising aspects of this discovery but also my critical perspective on the feasibility and implications of implementing such changes on a global scale.
Whether you’re a farmer, a scientist, or just curious about the future of agriculture, this video dives deep into the potential of C4 rice and what it could mean for the future of farming.
Watch now to uncover the possibilities and pitfalls of this intriguing advancement in crop science! 🌾

Why Farming Seaweed is Insanely Profitable
Great job
C₄ is not more efficient in general. It is more water efficient but less light efficient.
C4 plants? What an explosive concept.
What the hell
noboy cares about your opinion
Yeah how does it work on hills and less than perfect conditions? I agree it needs a repair plan and parts. John Deere has all that figured out. I would think this is an ideal situation Agricultural Equipment.
Another great video sir. Am not a fan of putting water on the plants under them is better then you don't have to water at night and don't get the damage form burning the fruit if it's to hot when you irrigate
Thanks, that’s another good argument!
I will start an indoor shrimp farm. I farm shrimps which I can proudly feed my family and everyone without using any harmful chemicals.
Best of luck!
@@hitechfarmerseb thank you 🙏
Another great video sir.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
@hitechfarmerseb and merry Christmas to you also
A lot of hot air...
The plan is:it’s supposed to be completely automated, in the near future. I don’t really think it will ever catch on. Current designs are proven. Combines are currently a very good design, for speed and mobility. So good that zero turn mowers were designed after them.
so that foreign companies doing the same can sell fish to Canadians
😂😂
Another great video sir very interesting interview as much of how he does it to how different it is somewhere else with operations
Thank you! Yeah, I really enjoyed talking to Marius!:)
what a waste of energy....u can grow this easily outside... waste
Well, kale grows best in cooler temperatures, between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Since this is in Thailand with temperatures around the 90°F (or some 30°C) the kale won't really grow outside.
Woahhhh never seen something like this :o My university definetly didn’t have no farm like this!
You should check out Varmers at sukhumvit road
Thanks for the tip!
Another great video sir but let's be fair who really likes kale in the first place 😂. The only real problem seems to be what you can actually plant on vertical herbs and leafy plants seem to be the only good fit unless someone could work out dwarf peppers and tomatoes and other related vegetables that are more nutritional. But you would have to have thing full 100 percent of the time to pay it off at that price because the operational cost i would think would be a few dollars for electric. But as i write this i see just adding an support system to help hold the larger plants in could be posable and make it work for tomato's and such if room could be made 🤔 but again great video liked the topic
Yeah, that's definitely the main issue. Although for example Oishii is already on it with their tomatoes. Yes, electricity is one of the main expenses, so it can make or break the operation. The support system sounds interesting. I think that would be possible:) Thank you
Another great video sir I do believe he should do good in that position. Now what's going to happen who can really say but i do believe it will help the fresh fruit and vegetable market
Yeah, that's another point:)
Strange, pretty interesting work you doing, but so low subscribers? Keep up, you doing really good job, but now I need to look almost all your videous.
Thank you! I appreciate it:)
Another great video sir very interesting interview
Thank you very much!
One reason is to dodge Inheritance Tax. I guess that isn't going to work out so good now is it?
This is interesting. One of the things that has been concerning me in the US for the last few years is how difficult it is to break into farming. Small farms can't compete with economy of scale (You need a big operation to justify buying all that nice expensive farming equipment, but without it you can't compete with the big operations on price per pound) and it is just too expensive (and risky) to jump into a several hundred acre operation when you don't even know if you want to do farming. I want to try starting a small greenhouse operation, and see if that could be done profitably, but just buying the land is crazy expensive right now.
Thanks for the comment! Well, you're 100% right with all the struggles. One thing I could recommend you is to look around and see if there's an incubator farm nearby, that offers a greenhouse to it's tennats. Because I've seen one, that does. But if there isn't then maybe find someone to go in 50/50 with you, or something like that... Obviously, that's a big decision to make, but there are still ways to get around the big upfront investment.
Does it involve eliminating property/inheritance taxes?
Not sure how you mean that. I focused on the solutions that everyday people can access. Ones that don’t involve any luck with the government passing new/beneficial laws.
Another great video sir i do like the idea but the only problem is the low prices to get ahead especially long tirm to make a go of it
Thank you! How do you mean that? That the incubator farms won’t be able to sustain the low prices for long, or that it’s generally bad that new farmers need artificially created low prices to be able to start?
@hitechfarmerseb the in general pricing will go down if there's a large number of little farms in one area the pricing will go down because in most cases they will most likely be growing some of the same crops witch will be fresh crops so to move it the prices will likely be lower to move the product because there is only so many buyers and if they travel to sell they loss money or if they sell wholesale the price will be lower so that will take longer to build up the capital to be able to start on there own with a larger acreage setup. Cuss with most younger people the reason they don't stay on the farm to start is there's really not much income and they don't want to work for next to nothing when they can get regular jobs and not be tied down to the farm. But then there's me poor but happy and still has to work away to pay bills 😂
@@PAplowboyYeah, that does make sense. I still think it’s one of the best ways for people to get into the industry, though. And yes, the prices might drop, but I belive the produce will just fill out the now growing market for local and organic. That could lead to grocery stores having less fruit and veg sales and in the best scenario, they’d drop some imported products based on this market feedback. But yeah, that’s only a theory and first we would have to get a lot more people joining these incubatir farms. Because they still aren’t very common, and only have e.g. 10 folks in it per growing season, with some staying for multiple years.
@hitechfarmerseb yes I agree with you 100 percent anything to bust up big AG that's what's wrong everywhere anymore the disconnect is getting worse and the control of the food by government
thanks for making money from those you so called pagpag eating people.
No problem, haven’t made a single cent from my channel so far

Apparently this guy doesn't innerstand how tracks work if the track spins you are stuck so by rope chain or cable you secure the track from spinning unless you completely buried the machine it can and will drive itself out it is simple and easy as long as one has the necessary equipment ready not to mention knowing your field and planning with common sense never hurts. Now that being said this machine is not perfect and needs many changes yet but a combine will run 600,000 a large tractor will run you 450,000 to 600,000 a small tractor will run you 250,000 to 450,000 new like the Nexat and all are needed for the preparation of the soil and planting and harvesting not to mention all the necessary implements needed for the different stages of crop production and all get stuck and there is often no access to pull on the tractor that can have many times more than 1 implement attached to it and are very limited in the amount of rows due to transporting to different fields because of roads and bridges and power lines and so it is important to note the Nexat is tackling the cost of leasing and insuring and maintaining and storing many multiples of equipment and crop row production and transporting equipment to different fields
Well, I'm bored and I kind of like this thing and am a fast typer, so here's a bunch of words. I'm certainly not going to say the thing is perfect, but I am more than alright with pointing out issues I find whenever people seem to inject negativity for its own sake. "I just love how they made it simple and efficient;" I know you are saying this sarcastically, but my response is not: welcome to the future. No, we will not always be able to fix every new electric or computerized thing (until we stop being stubborn and learn how, come on, kids are doing it). Electric technology, while not as simple, is getting all the more efficient by the day. And while the average person is not responsible for climate change (though should still try to treat the planet decently), at least the corporate farms that buy this pretending they care will be doing that little bit better. "This two million dollar mechanical masterpiece;" yes, that is how new technology comes out. It is going to be expensive, it is going to have teething troubles, and it is also going to be expensive. When technology is given time and finances to develop, then it can become more available and accessible to a wider market. I don't have that kind of money, never will, and believe that many people share this position, but then for the time being, it is not for me to deal with. Someone else can work out the teething issues. (And I will certainly give you this, I do not know how I would get it out of the mud. Then again, I haven't gotten anything stuck for decades, including my semi, so maybe someone needs to watch were they're driving.) "I don't agree with this statement;" I do not currently believe you have the qualifications necessary for me to worry about whether or not you agree with people who know what they are talking about. "They say this _can_ increase ... which _could_ translate;" this is a little bit of what I refer to as contract speak. Use vague enough terms that if people do not see the exact statistics presented, said people cannot sue for "false advertising." Not saying it's right, but it's the way everyone who has to sell anything by contract does it, for their own safety. "They are usually on pretty flat land ... not as much soil erosion;" I didn't really doubt you actually work in agriculture until this line. Flowing creeks are not the only form of erosion. Do you not have wind where you live, after weeks of no rain? Have you never cultivated or disced after a while with no rain? If you have, the dust clouds are rather unmistakable. That's erosion. That's layers of dirt from the flattest field you could have blowing away. Whether or not this machine can cut back on that, I now have to wonder if you personally realize what constitutes erosion. "They've been talking about these plans for the near future for a year now;" okay. The near future can be 5 years, who cares? 1 year certainly is. Technology takes significant lengths of time to develop, especially with how few people must be available for a project like this. This just seems to be nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking. "And 5 people overwatching the situation;" they're testing new technology. They're watching it in case something goes wrong, or for what they could possibly improve. It's going to take the same two people it does today to unload. "Since it's an all in one, if it breaks down;" re: welcome to the future. "It's monopoly on the parts, and charge a bit extra;" this seems to be combining your failure to understand that new technology costs more with a failure to understand how vehicle parts searching goes. You need a part for a John Deere, you go to John Deere and pay $5 for something because it has their name stamped into it. You need a part for a Massey Ferguson, you go to the people with Massey parts and pay the price they ask. Bolts and wheels you can get from wherever, but practically any piece of machinery will have pieces that can only be replaced from its manufacturer. I don't want a monopoly or these exorbitant prices more than anyone else, but again, this is nothing unique to this thing. And one final knock in at AI, well that one I won't refute. It has a long way to go, and I'm not worried about when it will get there, only that until then it has been hijacked by people who think typing a few words into a prompt box makes them an artist (which steals the work of real, human artists). I presume you'd rather I didn't double the length of this with how much I could say about that John Deere concept. I see a few issues I'd have, and not just because I'm a Massey guy. I'm not going to say I'm any final matter anywhere. I'm not going to say that this thing is ever going to work, or even take off. Did anything ever happen with the Tri-bine or whatever that thing was called? It just feels like this video was thrown together, first draft, for the sake of putting something else down. I don't like that, and probably like responding in kind a little too much. I am of course hoping nothing I have said makes your day worse, which was not my intent, but to expand on some rather unfinished discussions that were started here. Have a nice night, and a lifetime of them to follow.
This is good. We need a shift towards actually sustainable and ethical farming. Understand nature; don’t destroy it.
Well to be fair there's not really a state left that is better for farming anymore they all have there down falls one way or the other between land prices and weather and crop markets but Oregon is doing some crazy stuff and I'd sooner stay away from there
Based on what I learned, I’d also pick Idaho. Although I’ve read about a farmer who recently moved from Idaho to Oregon because of the land protection law. He also said, that he got the land cheaper than he would in Idaho. But the prices have allegedly risen since then.

They take their number from Australia where CTF is more common, the machine have many good features theirs many good ideas they got. Good part, is that maybe it’s will push big compagnie to improve their combine weight distribution and not only put 500 bushel capacity on a combine who’s got 80% weight on front axles. Tribune solve the problem by removing the grain tank and put it behind the combine on a articulated chassis.
Another great video sir I have to say I agree with you 100 percent but the best thing is to keep out the foreign side and keep everything local so all the money stays in the community instead of across the world no use the rich are the only ones making all the money just my twist on it
Thank you, yes, I'd also like to see everything local, however, since the foreign companies already bought some of the land, I was working around the fact. There is some Australian timber companies buying up land too though. (or so I've read)
We watched this in class today! Loved it.

Another great video sir but im a little conflicted which way to lean with this of one was running a small operation yes it may be a good thing but larger scale operations i believe it would be cheaper to to just on a schedule with past emergents just for the fact of money time and Labor but will be interesting to see where this goes
Thank you. I see we basically agree on this one. If it could be automated so that the farmer would save time and money, it might make sense to use, but as of now, I don't see any widescale application happening.
