Rice Pastureland Rotation for Higher Farm Profit

A historical note outlines a four to five year plan for turning rice land into a mixed system of pasture and crop production. It recommends land assessment by the vestry, soil considerations, and introducing grasses such as Bermuda, guard, or blue grasses to control weeds and provide winter forage. The plan emphasizes better margins amid rising equipment costs and details steps including weed control, seed timing, and fertilization to boost livestock grazing and overall yield.

Good irrigation a must in rice production

Improved rice varieties require careful water management and full irrigation access. Farmers need an ample water supply to flood fields, a smooth land, and an irrigation ditch system with control structures to cover the entire field. New hullers profit from changes in farming practices as weed control and soil conservation support advance rice yields.
