I wanted to show how important technology is to farming these days, and how it saves time. With the drone I’m able to identify the problem, and also be in two places at once. I can walk the pivot to get it back in line while watching what I’m doing as well.#AgTwitter

This years rice crop finished getting burned yesterday, and is getting hauled off for sale today. Also, as soon as the beans are cut, the preparation for next years rice crop is starting. The work never stops for Arkansas Rice farmers when the weather cooperates.

It’s common practice for Arkansas rice farmers to rotate crops between years in each field. The rotation is done in order to maximize yields for every field.Also, crop rotation helps with weed control and preserves herbicide integrity.The rotation with what crop and how many…

years usually depends on soil type. In this video I’m rolling beds preparing a current rice field to be planted with beans next year. This field was rice this year and should be beans for the next two years before returning back to rice.

Technology is 100% the future of rice farming. With the drone following me around the field I’m able to see many things I couldn’t on the ground level. I can see weed patches, high spots rice isn’t getting water at, and many more things. Drones are also being used to…

spray rice now . It has become common practice to spray rice levees with drones now in Arkansas. Using a drone to spray eliminates the factor of having to rebuild the end of a levee after spraying it with a modified ground rig. Also, with remote technology such as the camera on..

As the days of rice harvest wind down, Arkansas rice farmers have a lot going on. In this video there is a broken header being repaired , one combine running, two grain carts running, and two Diamond harrows running. This is all in one field. Time is valuable to rice farmers.

The more that can be done at once, the more efficient for Arkansas rice farmers. @RiceArkansas @cornwarriorstv @JohnDeere #arricereps23 #RiceReps23 #AgTwitter #Rice

September is National Rice Month. It’s also a stressful month as farmers are trying to get their crop out of the ground as quickly as possible. In order to do so, sometimes you have to dump two at a time to keep it moving. This allows everyone to keep moving.

Before harvesting rice, most rice farmers pick their Polly pipe up that’s used to irrigate the rice. This is the machine that the task gets done with. The shaft I show in the video has a slit in it that you slide the pipe in. You then slide the shaft all the way to the right to

catch the pipe. The shaft spins to pick up the pipe as you drive over it. The pipe is picked up to keep trash out of the field and to keep the pipe from getting in the combine header. @RiceArkansas @cornwarriorstv @JohnDeere #arricereps23 #RiceReps23 #AgTwitter #rice

As the rice fields here in Arkansas get close to harvest ready you might have noticed the plants turning a gold color. This is a result of the rice being “chlorated”. That’s the practice of salt being dropped from an airplane onto the rice. By doing this, farmers can harvest…

Sooner than if they were to wait for the rice to completely dry on its own. The salt helps dry out the moisture. Rice is a crop that needs to be cut within a certain window before weather knocks it down, so farmers do anything they can to get in the field early.
