Again thank you for the content of this video my family has been farming rice in brazoria county tx since 1921 amazed that its taken this long to let the rest of the farmers out there that we exist
We are very used to combining flooded field crop in Arizona/California. It's crazy how quick the fields get knocked down and leveled for the next crop!
Thank you for coming down to the south to see what we go through in the rice production of rice. there is more to the food supply than soybeans and corn.
Need to make a visit to Mississippi again Mike and get some more big tractor video doing land levelling. Come in mid August and get some rice harvest video too.
Mike, Looks like pretty clean harvest. Working in mud would take a heavy toll on the equipment. But it sounds like it wouldn't matter to the field, because it's going to be flooded anyway! Great video, thanks!
Yes Mike makes excellent videos and I enjoy looking at them. The Imperial valley is an impressive farming area in CA; and the Central Valley also very impressive especially Boswells spread at Tulare lake.
Just a quick correction so that people know. Macdon D series are not flexible it’s a rigid head. Only thing that moves is feeder house hookup. It would be called and FD if it was flexible.
It is used mostly for erosion control on construction sites. Usually it's spread on the side of dirt hills and also used for waddles (the mesh tube's with grain in them on construction sites) rice straw doesn't really decompose unless it is submerged in mud and water for an extended period of time.
Little known fact… you won’t see a transverse rotor Gleaner combine in a rice field. When Gleaner introduced the transverse rotor machines they lost all their business in rice country.
Totally different from what we're used to in Ohio. Looks like a tough environment for machinery...especially if they were fighting mud. How is rice yield per acre figured?
@@boomerang379 you can grow rice without levees 0 grade where its perfectly flat you have a road all the way around the field that holds the water in with drop tiles. Row rice you plant on last years bean beds and you have one levee on the bottom end of the farm with a couple of gates in it
Hello everyone good vidéo mike less can't wait next year I'm going to Ranthoul Illinois to go to the half century of progress show if you haven't already heard of it and I even have the opportunity to drive a JD 6030 in the morning and in the afternoon an international Cummins 903 cubic inch repower Detroit engine diesel
@@farmhandmike I'm French I live in Alsace it's a friend of ours who is the owner of a farm in Ranthoul who invites us and my boss and I can even drive a few tractors I'm so impatient and maybe I'll come across some UA-camr American that I am frankly I was there in 2015 or 2016 nothing comparable in France it's the best show especially for people like me who love us equipment frankly I love this event and have you seen the 3 new tractors announced for 2023 a big bud 700 caterpillar engine 18.1 liters with a displacement of 750 hp a quadrac 715 case 19 liters displacement 8 cylinder 715 hp and a jd 9rx 830 18 liters displacement jd 830 hp personally if in France nothing would hold me back without hesitation I will settle in the us because there is too much to see down there every time I go there I find it difficult to leave America
Rice harvest is usually done in muddy and extreme conditions. You use the tractors you have. Yes a smaller tractor would handle the cart in most conditions but what if they don't have anything smaller? I personally like pulling a grain cart with an articulated 4WD tractor just for the visibility.
As Mike mentioned, it's whatever is available at the time. Many farmers in SE Texas team up to harvest so it may just have been what that particular farmer brought to the show. Also, we've had a very dry summer here in Texas. It's not typically like this so, as Mike also mentioned, it is often much wetter than this at the harvest and you need the power and size to get through it when it's softer.
Don't know anything about growing rice. Are the stalks muddy full of dirt? Be like running sandpaper through the machine. See any wild hogs running around? I hear they love the rice fields.

Never saw rice harvesting. Very cool. Thanks Mike 👍🏻.
I wish you success in your work

Amazing video my friend
Thank you for coming down to the south to see what we go through in the rice production of rice. there is more to the food supply than soybeans and corn.
Rice now? A very versatile list of crops on your channel! Nice vid Mike!👍
Rice harvest looks cool😃👍 thank you for the video again👍👍
Something else. Nice insight, Mr Less.
Nice to see it to the end product.
Great. Well done. Thanks.

Great video Mike. Hope to see you at farm science review
Châu cám ơn bác đã chia sẻ nhé chúc bác làm việc thành công 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁👍👍👍
Good video.
Nice to see rice harvest thanks to your channel Mike
I plant rice in guatemala you should plan a international trip to see harvest outside us!!
😎😎
Excellent video I would like to see as many Rice Sunflower and much fall harvest as possible any Claas Lexion by any chance?
I like Mike less videos on UA-cam from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜🚜🚜🚜

Okay thanks I just said that out of habit. I’m not going to go back and change the video.
Do Macdon make hinged draper heads-?
@@John-nc4bl yes they do
Forgive my ignorance, but what is the rice hay used for? Very interesting video. I’ve learned a lot from your content. Thanks Mike!! Keep them coming!
Thanks, Actually I'm not sure if they use it for feed or bedding. I should have asked more questions I guess.

Did I see some cabrice? Is that a thing? Thanks for sharing again. Happy subscriber 😊!
Mike, thanks for another good video.
I'd like to see 50 or 60 foot heads on the snouts of combines mowing down that rice.
Little known fact… you won’t see a transverse rotor Gleaner combine in a rice field. When Gleaner introduced the transverse rotor machines they lost all their business in rice country.
How big was that rice field? How many acre’s? Thanks for the video, my Cousin grows a lot of rice in Arkansas
I didn't ask. I did get to see some rice harvest in Arkansas many years ago.
Just so you know...Anahuac is pronounced Ann-uh-whack, not Ann-uh-wock.
Thank you John. I was here to correct Mike on this as well.
Totally different from what we're used to in Ohio. Looks like a tough environment for machinery...especially if they were fighting mud. How is rice yield per acre figured?
By the hundred weight. Good crop is 9-10000lbs per acre
Every state is different. Arkansas is by bushels (45 lbs) Louisiana is by barrels and California is by sacks. Bushels are the easiest to keep up with.
@@perrywollam8981not everyone does it that way. We calculate by bushels in Arkansas and Mississippi. A bushel of rice is 45 pounds.
How do you grow rice without a rice paddy?
I don't understand your question.
row rice with a leeve on the bottom end?
What do you mean?

What is the average yield per acre of rice
roughly 200 bushel varies by variety and if its long or medium grain

Pretty big tractor on the grain cart. An 8000 series could handle that size grain cart just fine.

Not in a muddy rice field it wouldn’t.

No hogs when I was out here but did see some signs.
