I don't know if many know this ? But the water in the paddy fields that of rice are not for growing the rice nor is it as a medium to grow rice.
All what the water is to not allow weeds to grow as the rice is not affected by the water or being submerged around the water body.
Interesting
Is that so!? Very interesting, thank you for sharing! People Should also be interested to learn how that system causes the soil to become anaerobic over time, ultimately resulting in a harmful product.. Hopefully this old farming technique will be corrected and commercial rice can be saved.
💖✌️😁
Thumbs up 👍 Ready set grow!
Your dog is so funny, running around the chicken coop 😅😅
Always trying to herd the chickens.
Yaaaaaay rice on a homestead, been wanting to see more vids on this.
This was an interesting video, my grandfather grew sorghum and made syrup. Do you have a video on how you made your syrup? Great job! Blessings!!
Cool. Thanks.
We have not had success with growing it yet. Once I can grow it, I will do a video on making syrup.
Looking forward to seeing how the Upland rice works. I had never heard of it before. I’m in north Alabama and this might be something we could do.
Good idea to grow the upland rice it will be interesting to see how well it does. 👍
Wow, this is cool, i have a low spot on my farm I should give this a try. I've had really good luck with grain sorghum, I'm planning on making a video on that on my channel... thanks for sharing!
How about an update on the rice. Found a neat way to thresh grains using an electric leaf mulcher, also can be used for mulching leaves. Something like the Worx with a croaker sack under to catch grain, only put enought stem into it to knock grain off and not shredd entire stem.
I harvested it and it is drying in the barn. Sounds good regarding the leaf mulched. I’ll try my worx when I get a chance. I haven’t had time to build a thresher…..too many solar projects going on right now.
Cool! Rice!
Thanks!
Welcome!
You can also try a white seeded sorghum and pop it like tiny popcorn. It won't yield syrup though, iirc. But birds LOVE it. Cover seed head with a paper/mesh bag.
Unfortunately your syrup sorghum (red seed) probably won't make a good "popper" it might have too much tannin. Off flavored
Yep, thanks. We got one of the syrup varieties.....Orange Rox.
Wow never thought about planting rice...in Europe, so I have to see/think.
Italy's Po River valley grows a LOT of rice...... risotto!!
You should be able to just cast the seed by hand or with a grass seed spreader then cover it with straw. Thats what i did with my wheat and even did it with corn, though the corn i still did in rows. And the cool thing is next season if you keep the stalks during harvest you can use that instead of straw. From what ive seen you can do that with any crop. No need to put seed in the soil like most people think.
That is not how rice is usually sown.
Can plant in containers also. Direct sow.
Very interesting! I may have to try growing rice. Have you made sorghum syrup before? Also, what have you found to be effective for our Texas ants?
I have not made the syrup before. I look forward to trying.
We did a video on how to safely kill ants in the garden here......ua-cam.com/video/88WB5S2QwAA/v-deo.html
For sugar, are you north (or highland) enough to grow sugar beet? If not, do you have enough heat to grow sugar cane?
In terms of the maple, you'd need to be at quite a high altitude to make that work that far south, and at such an altitude, it may not have the growing degree days to pan out. You need a warm to hot summer, and a continental winter with a full freeze up for at least a week or two. Temperatures above 0°C (+32°F) during the day and below 0°C at night are your sugaring season, for trees that produce a sugary sap (most Acer spp., as well as hickories).
are you involved in the Vevor-Store that is showing you with chicken yard kits?
No. They stole my video. I am trying to get it taken down.
I tried to grow rice last year with no luck. I plan to try again this year. I have sorghum on a seed mix that I throw out, let it grow, then let the animals in.
Cool
I was wondering what part of the country you're in. I'm in ohio, rice probably isn't a crop I can do, 😅I just heard you say bigger in Texas lol
Great video! What part of Texas are y'all in?
Thank you. We are near Tyler.
@@CountryLivingExperience Beautiful area!! You can grow more easily, than I can out here near Paradise. Great channel you have 👏😃❤️
Hey Eric,
Have you thought about growing “Stevia”?
Stevia is 300 Xs sweeter than sugar.
Keep the leaves whole until you need them.
Then put them in a coffee grinder.
You can sample a leaf just by chewing it to see the sweetness.
Be Blessed man !
I have had stevia leaves. They are incredibly sweet.
Stevia is a ragweed relative.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 It’s still super sweet with no fructose, so it’s great for diabetics
Intercropping two grains seems a bit risky.
I don't understand how planting a small patch of rice or sorghum is going to help my homestead. Maybe raise one cup of grain. Years ago we raised a 5 acre field of sorghum, harvested it in the fall and fed the cattle during the winter. But a patch of rice?
Then don't. It is an experiment for us to see how it grows. I mentioned that. If if grows well, then I will scale it up.
Another video here on YT wanted to see how much rice they could grow in a single square foot….and it was about a quarter cup of finished rice. Assuming that holds, a 10 x 20 plot could yield….50 cups of rice, or about enough for one rice dish dinner for a family of 4, every other week, for a year. Is that worth it? Who knows, but I would say yeah.
Rice stores well longterm, most people like it, and is very calorie dense…there is a reason it is so widely cultivated in many areas of the world. If it grows in the local area, seems like as good a crop as corn or other crops considered staples, even if “just” on a homestead.
Or people do it for the reason I watched this video, to see if it can be done, for fun, and if so, as another potential garden item.
Am I missing the links to the seeds?
I don't see it either.
Sorry, forgot....here is the rice seed link....www.fruitionseeds.com/shop/vegetables/grains/organic-duborskian-rice/

Just an FYI, you don't say "rices" - it's just "rice"
Incorrect. The plural form can also be rices e.g. in reference to various types of rices or a collection of rices...which is what I did.
