This is who my son-in-law, Benjamin LeJeune, works for! I just hope he knows how much we love and appreciate all that he does for his family! Help me show him and all of our farmers some love and appreciation! All of our farmers and ranchers deserve it!! Thank You, Ben!! You are by far my favorite SIL and I couldn't ask for better!! ❤ Like the saying goes: If you ate today, Thank a Farmer..... If you ate in Peace, Thank a Soldier! I am Blessed with BOTH!!

Nice video. What happen to the stalk of the rice at the rear of the machine , it looks that they were pour out on the ground, they could have been saved for animal food, right?
My grandfather and ggrandfather were in the rice business around there. My grandfather wised up and moved to north Louisiana to seek his fortune. He got tired of all the floods. (circa 1925)
Thanks! Yes they typically do this for two reason in South Louisiana. First, many of the farmers grow a ratoon crop for rice several months after the initial harvest. The second being that lots of farmers here raise crawfish in the rice fields. The taller straw provides food and protection from predators for the crawfish.
Great video as always. To answer the speed question, I have heard 2 reasons, (both probably wrong), 1). To stop the combine from sinking into the soft ground, and 2). The ease (or difficulty) with which it can harvest the rice. - - I will probably be "bombarded" with loads of "Don't be Nuts" remarks. . . But that's what the "Comments" section's for - isn't it.?
You kinda got it with the second one. I don’t know the exact reason cause I don’t farm rice, but due to how wet it is, you can’t put near as much crop through it. This is because the wetter material tends to stick to things inside the combine and clump together rather than flowing through how it’s supposed to.

Superb footage. Questions: how much more expensive are the rice specialised harvesters for this JD model? Do the white egrets actually eat the rice or are they feeding on critters disturbed by the harvester?
I recently just fell in love with farming. when it comes to transferring the grains from the harvester into the truck why don't both vehicles stop? why does it need to keep moving while loading into the empty truck?
I wonder how many of those cattle egrets got added to the rice harvest. You can bet there was at least one who was a tad too slow to get out of the way in time.
Good job like always Al! 👍👍 I am surprised at the small amount of product taken in by the combine and how slow it’s going! I don’t hear the engine having full load. You know the reason for it?
How many acres of rice does Louisiana plant? And how many bushels do you get per acre on a average year? Just wondering, I combine corn and rye in Michigan on our family farm. Pretty neat seeing a different crop harvested! And I just subbed your channel, love it!
Thanks for the sub! Per the USDA: Breakdown by grain length for Louisiana are: long grain planted area is 430,000 acres and medium grain planted area is 50,000 acres. Harvested acreage for all rice is revised to 474,000 acres, up 50,000. Average for last year was listed as 6,800 pounds per acre. Rice is measured in barrels instead of bushels.
Wish you did something more than just fly a drone around a harvester... with no commentary or explanation on the crop, this could just as easily be a video on corn/soybean/wheat harvesting. Make it a little more engaging by having a look at the 4 seasons around rice farming (even just a few pictures) and talk about it while flying the drone around in the video.
My channel is mainly focused on the machinery. Its not about explaining the crops or anything like that. If you're looking for that, my channel will not be your cup of tea.

Start cutting at 21%. They’ll fly on some urea and flood it back up and harvest it again in October. Second crop usually only makes about a third of the first.
