- Just as rice harvest 2019 starts in Brazil we suffer a tractor breakdown. I visit my favorite farming family in Joinville, Brazil on there second day of rice harvest. Perhaps I bring a little bad luck because their harvest combine breakdown--just as I had mentioned that we suffered several tractor breakdowns downs during our 2018 rice harvest.
Fortunately during the down time I meet a neighboring rice farmer and his family; who are also harvesting rice. I spend a little time riding around on their equipment.
Check out my video about our difficult 2018 rice harvest:

Amazing work. Well done Mathew.
Please keep in the back of your head visiting Iraq, one day, - one of the first places rice were produced by humans.
There, a piece of machinery enters the field to work being already broken, but humans' determination makes it work!
Growing rice in Iraq is a story of life and death, where your fans wish Mathew will shine explaining it, sometime in the future.
The video above is another masterpiece from Rice Farming TV
. We wish all what is posted on youtube by others comes to its fine quality.
Wow, thank you very much for this inspirational message. I would love to visit and learn all about the rice fields of Iraq. In the future we’ll make it happen. Take care.

Rice Farming TV, You produce terrific videos, subscribed after Jeff Anderson commented on one of your videos. Thanks for the video.
Muito legal essas suas visitas ao Brasil para mostrar como é cultivado o arroz aqui, parabéns.
Another great video Matt. I also really liked the background music. I love hearing you speak Portuguese, it reminds me of
my mother and her family and all the stories of them growing up on the Islands.
Cara muito bom esse seu vídeo eu moro no estado vizinho o maior produtor de arroz do Brasil seria um prazer te receber aqui parabéns pelo seus vídeos
We have large rice fields here in RS, and u are welcome here.
Hi Ricardo, thank you very much for the invite. I will need to remember this for next year. We are already back in California. Have a great year!
-Matthew
Hi Matt,
Been a while!!!... Great video by the way.. Nice to see these guys getting the job done, we wish then a good harvest. Sound like a bunch of great guy's.. we have just finnished our 2019 rice planting season, monsoon rains have been a bit late. But storms are coming in regular now, so let's see how we go..🌾🌱🌽
Great video Matt! Here it is another year and I know you'll be gearing up for another planting season. And we'll send up the nh3 by the truck load. Might be a better year for us with all the water this time...
I loved this episode. So good to see regular people working hard and prospering. The only thing we see in australia if amything is crime and death. Just shows by knowing the langauge removing that barrier of mistrust true character open up to you. Thank you.
wow my ralative Elvis,i did not know about this films,cool.
Wow that was fun. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Richard, glad you enjoyed.

Farmers have things in common everywhere. Good video. BTW, I thought the New Holland was old till I saw the other one!
Yeah Nick, that was the first time I drove in an open-air cab-less harvest combine. Really cool to see. Loud though.
-Matthew
Matthew, my name is Matheus! I’m farmer in Roraima-Brazil! I like your vídeos! My dream is visit California!
Man do I love farming. Just a great time everywhere you go.
Parabéns pelo vídeo consegui entender algumas partes continua asim parabéns
Obrigado Adilson. Vou colocar legendas em português em alguns dias. Vou avisar voce. Abraço.
-Matthew
Are the fields there wetter/softer at time of harvest by comparison to what you see at home Matt ? Great video yet again and the editing skills 👍 very enjoyable viewing ...
Thanks for the video! One day you should come out to the southern riv in Australia ! Made sure there water allocations! So there is a crop. The local rice mill layer off 90 works. There are 2 rice crops in my area there normally be would be a quite a few. They are slowly lossing ground to more profitable crops that also use less water
That was a really cool video man the old equipment that was awesome and you got a great Channel man this is like my third video Big Ups to you bro thank you so much for all the coolness man👊👊👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks a ton, Roy! Glad you're here. Let me know if you have any questions about our rice operation back in California. Really appreciate your recent comments on my episodes. You're the man.
-Matthew
@@Ricefarmingtv thank you so much my friend I love your videos they are really awesome man thank you so much brother
The first time I saw rice field was in the Sacramento area when my son moved up there on his first fire fighting job he is now a captain in Rancho Cardova for sac metro fire.
Awesome video.
...and I never knew rice harvest tourism was a thing...
Hi Matt, very good your channel and very didactic videos about the cultivation of rice, it is appreciated. The next visit to South America come to Chile, the southern most rice in the world. Our friend Randall Mutters, Chico - California, knows the area very well.
Another great video. Will you ask Rual if he can arrange a visit to the dryer? He had one son running the tractor over the straw to get it to decompose in the field. And yet you said that the rice was being cut high so that it would sprout for the second harvest. Very interesting.
Frank, that’s a great idea to visit the drier down there in Brazil. I’ll have to do that next year (we are home in California now). Oh man, great thought. I should have asked him about the stomper tractor and if that doesn’t affect the regrowth. I guess not. Or maybe his explanation was for a particular variety in that specific field. Again: a question for next year!
-M.
These Are Great Videos,,, Steven Spielberg Would Be Proud,,, This Boy Has Great Timing, Great TV Presence,,, Masterful Timing,,,, Very Enjoyable,,,
Oooooohhhh YEAH hes back!!!!! Welcome back to UA-cam Matt.
about this second harvest of rice, it is called "safrinha" (small harvest), because the amount of grains is smaller
Love your videos.. we work here in the Central Valley. Costume spray is what we do almonds, etc. I HOPE YOU MAKE IT to the WorldAg Expo Here in Tulare.
Thanks for the message! Perhaps I should try to make the World Ag Expo and visit your part of the state. That would be fun!
-Matthew
Fantastic video as always!
Thanks guy!
-M.
They must take good care of the equipment. Looks a lot like the combines we had in the 1960's. Those were different times. I bet the operator's manual isn't 5 centimeters thick like ours.
Brazilians are determined people! Thanks for sharing. How much are they getting for their rice? Does it stay in country?
The majority of Brazilian agricultural production is reserved for export
Nice to see.
With the fields this wet is the rice wet also?
Thanks for all of the GREAT videos. Love your channel and love your rice. It's delicious!!! :-)
Wow, that was very interesting, and they are a great bunch of guys too!
We've had rice to retailer and produce seed heads but, frost got it before filling
Nice video as always , do they irrigate like you do or does rain fall take care of the water needs ?
i love rice
Nice to see you here in Brazil, hope someday we could meet each other.
Great video
Thank you Kerry!
-M.
Universal sign language 👍👍👍👍
Thumbs all the way up!
-Matthew
Reminds me of the 1950s-1960s in the U.S.A. except for the tractors. The combines and grain cart and stuff looks pretty old
The operation certainly has a vintage to it. These rice farms in this region of Brazil are not large operations. The average size farm there is about 75 acres.
-Matthew
this is at Rio Grande do Sul (the southernmost brazilian state)
the geography is quite different, with lots of plains, unlike Santa Catarina, which is mostly a mountainous state, allowing much bigger farms.

Wow your friend is a Filipino color good day to all
pretty cool :) Something I never noticed asked before- can you harvest at night if you need to? The corn and bean farmers around here seem to do it occaisionally with lights.
Oh yeah, a rice farmer could harvest well into the night. The dryers (around us) close around 6:00 PM so you could cut until your on farm storage (trailers) is full. One thing to consider is the night time external moisture. If the fog and dew sets in real heavy you might start cutting damp rice. That’s hard on the machine. Internal kernel moisture + external atmospheric moisture is a concern too. Don’t want to get a high moisture reading at the drier making it look like your rice is unripe when it’s really just a drop of dew. Great question.
-M.
Always cool to see how the rest of the world does it. Do you know how old those combines are?
The red combine resembles an old Case rice combine from the 1960s
You need to come to Rio Grande do Sul too!
I would love that. Next year though. We have made it back to California already. Thank you Mateus. Abraço.
-Matthew
@@Ricefarmingtv My father has been a rice farmer during my childhood and my town still have some, but the production is losing space for soybeans. Even with that, our state is responsible for 70% of rice production in Brazil! It will be a pleasure to have your visit!
ua-cam.com/video/rGrDuWV_gxQ/v-deo.html This video has been made right in front of my house!
It's always hard to say goodbye, but you'll get to see them again next time and it'll be that much better for the time away... I guess machines break down everywhere! Don't have to translate that, everyone understands!
when you return to joinville, let us know so we can take a picture
Hey brother! My name is Matheus, i’m produce rice in northe Brazil, in Roraima!
How big is their farm roughly?
Minha terra
Do they have internet? Rice looks a little green; in California y’all don’t get second crop? We do in Louisiana. Great video
Yeah, the have the internet. In fact that’s how I got home-ordered an uber. Haha! No we don’t get a second crop in Cali. It just turns too cold over the winter time. Thanks for the message, Chuck. Take care!
-Matthew
In warm areas, rice has what's called a spittoon crop.
Hey, mate! Your portuguese os perfect! Congratulations!
Matthew, is the track application for flotation? Or to begin the process of incorporating the stalks back into the earth? -Bob...
Hi Bob! Yes, the metal tracks keep the combine sinking in the mud. It's solely for moving in muddy conditions. Now-a-days, like on our two newer combines, the tracks are made out of rubber.
-M.
I've enjoyed this presentation greatly. Tracked harvesters, whodathunk?
Ratoon rice crop can happen in south Louisiana and southern Mississippi, Arkansas little too far north
Pelo jeito esse sacolejo todo era pra te preparar para o carnaval... E essa Santa Matilde!!! :O
Até pra nós é difícil ver uma santa Matilde dai vem um gringo e na primeira lavoura que vai acha uma
Hehe...
Cool video on how others do it! Weird everyone is barefoot in the field but whatever works... #WorldsOkayestFarmer
Yeah, took me a whole year to work up the courage to enter the muddy field, walk around the equipment and cut between dirt roads without any shoes on. They’re barefoot or in sandals. Either way their toes are all aired-out.
-Matthew
That red combine would be a decepticon (is it a laverda?)
What rice harvest? All I saw was festival 😁
At the start of your video, you make a point of showing you spraying your foot with bug repellent spray (?). You don't seem to ever have to do that around Biggs, so do they have some really nasty indigenous bugs in Joinville?
Hi Ed, great question! There are mosquitos there in Joinville just like in Biggs. Nothing super nasty unless you get up in those mountains that surround those rice fields-big ol’ mosquitos type bugs. But that spray was a 50 SPF sun screen that I brought with me from the US. Trying to keep my farmers tan on point so I sprayed my legs! Hehe!
-Matthew
We roll or shred the stubble for second crop in louisiana. It comes back thicker. What length grain do they plant?
Hi Luke, so the rolling (or stomping in this case) doesn't damage the plant. It in fact helps it come back healthier? Interesting. The plant long grain.
-Matthew
@@Ricefarmingtv
We used to not do anything to the straw after the first crop and what happens is, it'll make a head from where you cut with the header from the first crop. They found out if you cut it low to the ground with a shreder or break the straw with a roller it'll make a new plant and come back thicker. Not as thick as the first crop but thicker than if you would've just left it standing. Make's a better head too. Say we make 50 barrels to the acre first crop we might make 25-35 second crop. Depending on weather and variety. But it has to be dry. If you pull up the roots in the mud and make ruts, it wont work.
How many maximum yield that you do.
Hi Panya, we are yielding around 10,000 lbs./acre in California. There in Brazil I think it's around 6,000 lbs. an acre.
-Matthew
You Otta have them come over and take a view of your home land
That would be an awesome trip to show those boys around! Man, I should at least invite them. Great suggestion Zac. Thanks.
-M.
Would love to see the video!
No video this year?
test weight for corn and soybeans hovers around 60 pounds test weight per bushel. how does rice compare?
Hi Randy, what do you mean by test weight? Thanks.
-Matthew
@@Ricefarmingtv the standard weight of a quantity of measure. Corn is sold by the bushel. When it is delivered to market the scale ticket gives weight, test weight (per bushel) any docking for damage or impurities and the adjusted quantity that they are going to pay you for.
Randy for California rice we go by 100 lbs. sacks or cwts (hundred weights).
The test weight is around 45 pounds.
We sell in ctws but your grade is still 45 lbs a bushel
do you rice harvest down in brazil to and own the property and equipment
I don’t farm rice down in Brazil, no. These are just friends I’ve made from last year. I have always enjoyed visiting the rice fields when we visit Brazil.
-Matthew
You visit in Mato Grosso
I'll do it in 2020! Thank you Paulo. Abraço!
-Matthew
Matt visit us in Greece we are a lot of rice farmers !
Who was the maker of that red combine?
Chunkmen, that's a great question. There was absolutely no branding on it. So I'm not sure. Let me try and find out...
-Matthew
@@Ricefarmingtv maker IDEAL 70's in Brazil, now (AGCO).

Bro, you speak portugese?
I do. My wife Clara is from Brazil. You speak too?
-Matthew
@@Ricefarmingtv Sure don't, just a little espanol picked up in the good old tobacco field. Mexican Spanish, cause I have no idea what hondurans are saying. And those Puerto Ricans, man can they curse its like setting off a pack of fire crackers. Lol. Interesting fact about you, guess you can always go farm south like half of Georgia did in the 1860s. You're "Brazil ready" as john deere would say. I read big farm families out west have the youngest sons striking out to farm in Brazil
Eu cosigui entender umas partes do video
Tem legendas em português, não? Acho que sim.
-Matthew
not enough exposed moving parts, so I will just install an unshrouded fan a foot from my face, yeah that fixes it... OMG WTF SHEEEESH be careful bro!
music??
I didn't come back to watch more combine break down :( Too dramatized from your 2018 harvest. On the good note, they were able to get it back up and running :)

I hate spellcheck
