It’s not a real episode of Rice Farming TV if it doesn’t show turning the truck key off , opening the door and then closing the door. It makes me chuckle every time you do it Matthew. Please never stop. Excellent video as always.
Hey bud I’ve been subscribe to your channel for awhile now but just tonite I watched a full video. I usually just skip around the videos. Super interesting. I’ve seen rice field driving through Arkansas but never knew rice was grown in California. Also your intro is mint!
Hello question... I live in Thailand on a rice farm. My Thai family has grown regular rice like yours and also green and black rice but mostly rice like yours. It is hand processed with a home pounder and then sifted before we eat it. So my question is, on the regular rice like yours, how can I tell by looking if it is processed enough to be “white” rice or if it is still healthy “brown” rice? I mean the color is white to my uneducated eye. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Glad you finally got your stink water Matt. This has been a year unlike any I've seen in 35 years of hauling, loading and now operating the terminal it all comes from.
@@LuckyBaldwin777 we aren't shipping any ammonia right now, it's the growing and soon the harvest season. We have more ammonia now than we can ship. Our next vessel will be either delayed or amount delivered will be reduced. A very weird year...
Hunter; errrrr I mean Matt; so This is what you do between the end of the season & Spring Training! You're secret's safe with me... lol Love the vids!! NorCal Rocks!!
I see you are in Butte County. That's cool My family does rice and almonds in Glenn and Colusa county. Good to see someone local spreading our unique brand of farming for the world to see. I feel like rice gets over looked alot by the guys in the Midwest that do wheat and corn
Matthew, Would your dad do an interview about the Sligar Family Farm’s history? ...when did it start, when did it get to be such a big time operation? Choice of rice to raise? Issues of the day? Any Sligar family skeletons? (Kidding, don’t ask that) 🤣
I'm kinda curious, but how come you guys just don't build a fertilizer rig yourself and save a ton of money in application costs? We farm less than you guys and we put all of our N on ourselves.
Good question Ross. It's just so nice not to have to think about it during winter prep--leading into spring tractor work. It's nice focusing on water and not fertilizer once we get to that point too. But it would be a good business move. You're right. -Matthew
Matt. Did you ever consider going to College and getting a College Degree? When you look at the amount of physical labor that you have to do every day (especially shoveling the dirt), it might make a person want to go to College and get a Degree. When I graduated from High School, my options were to get a job and work, which means hard work, or go to College and get a Degree. I went to College, got an AA, then a BA, then units towards the CA Teaching Credential and units towards a Masters Degree. Going to College was easier than working as a grunt.
It’s hilarious that you think this is working as a grunt, as a large row crop farmer from southern Indiana I hold two degrees. I promise you, I make more from being in your eyes I’m sure just a dumb grunt farmer in a year than you do in 10. Our yearly operating budget is over 10 million. It’s so comforting knowing the people I strive to feed think we are all uneducated idiots who just work like slaves.
Oh and I should mention, I’m a high school drop out that after the events of 9/11 went and proudly served my country before returning home to take my place in the family farming operation. So maybe get off your high horse, you college degrees doesn’t make you half as special as you think.

Here in india, we use 8 kg/acre of rice and harvest 4000 kg in DSR ( direct seeding rice) technique . And use only 2.5 kg/acre when we transplant it.
farmerTV님반갑습니다손꾹해주세요,잘보고,풀청합니다,의리
Great video. Glad you have all fertilizer applied. Now for flooding and planting!!

That's interesting. How's the supply valley-wide? Are you all caught up or are some farmers still waiting?

Who hit ya. You lower lip is swollen from it. Mmmmmm gotta love that nitrogen. Ricky Bobby Frankie Lucy Matty and pops.
Mr. Blaze, not sure who hit me. Not sure I was even hit. I just have full lips. Lover not a fighter, I suppose.
-Matthew
What percentage of NH3 to water? Aqua Ammonia percentage?
Around 24% ammonia and that is roughly 20% nitrogen...
I'm kinda curious, but how come you guys just don't build a fertilizer rig yourself and save a ton of money in application costs? We farm less than you guys and we put all of our N on ourselves.

-Matthew
Is it mostly other farmers stealing the aqua or different people stealing it to sell to other farmers?
I find it hard to believe that other farmers are stealing it. I'm thinking it's looters looking to resell it.
the audio in your truck sucks your voice is very garbled in your truck better mic ?

I am guessing Matthew has a college degree. FYI most farmers actually like the physical labor part of farming! I do !
