Rice

Over the last 12 months the international rice market has been beset with disruptions that had little to do with supply and demand.

The average yield expected to be more than 7,800 pounds per acre on the main crop.

Off to a slow start because of weather not conducive to drying grain, rice harvest likely will extend into early November.

A project using irrigation timers on Arkansas rice farms shows how timer-switches not only save groundwater, but they also save farmers time and money.

After Hurricane Laura, farmers assess what needs to be repaired and what can be harvested.

Without electricity, Louisiana farmers struggle to save rice crop in storage.

The effects on Louisiana agriculture appear to be less destructive than most people feared before Hurricane Laura struck.

Laura flattens some crops. Leaning soybeans might regain upright posture. Damage heavier in southern Arkansas.

As Hurricane Laura threatens the 2020 harvest, farmers do what they can to prepare for the storm.
