@@EDBZ28 The rice itself is dry and brown, its just the straw that's green. The rice will regenerate a ratoon crop that's harvested around October. Most farmers down here in Louisiana raise crawfish in their fields after harvest. The green straw provides food and shelter for the crawfish.
Excellent video. My golly he was running those combines right to the very top, - ( and over on at least the first one, you could see it running down by the drivers door).
Nice to see lovely birds like egrets following the combine. If it were gulls, there'd be no peace in the nursery! It's an education to me to see rice being harvested green. I would never have thought it either possible or profitable.
Rice is a rough crop to harvest. The combines require special "rice packages". Without that the rice will eat holes through some high wear areas of the machine.
No, after harvest these fields will be flooded and the farmer will raise crawfish. The leftover straw provides food and shelter/protection for the crawfish.
No but I would love to. Everything even remotely close to me is green or red as far as I know. I'd love to do a harvest "road trip" up north one day to see some New Holland, Claas and Gleaners. Probably not while fuel prices are so high though.
@@fredclaymorgan Normally I would probably do it. But as I said with fuel prices like they are it would cost too much. If you don't mind send me your contact info at aerialagphoto@gmail.com and we can maybe work something out in the future. I'd love to go see some different stuff.
No. I'd like to but its about a two and a half hour drive for me to get to rice country. I'll make the drive for harvest, but that's a bit far for planting.
@@AerialAg I’m from India we get per acre 2 to 2.5 tons . I’m also a rise farmer . But this year we seeding almost BT Cotton ( because of higher price) so it’s profitable than rise .
Agricultural machinery is a driver for development, generating employment, income and value-added for the rural and urban areas, as well as the national and global economy.❤😊🌱
None lol these guys do not pollute enough to worry about these machines are green green as is if anything your going electric would be your best bet but then that takes time away because you have to charge it and when you have weather on the way it’s something that you shouldn’t have to deal with to get the task done
is it non p.c. of me to ask how many barefooted people it took to plant those paddies... because I can't see a air seeder doing it. or to many other things for that matter...lol
Unlike wheat or corn, when rice is harvested the plant is still alive. In Texas and Louisiana they will re-flood, apply more fertilizer and harvest a second crop.
After John Deere filed suit to prevent farmers from repairing their own equipment (right to repair), Why would anyone continue to own and purchase from this despicable company? C'mon Americans, where are your ethics???
The answer is simple. If equipment is paid off, why would a farmer go into incredible debt to buy different equipment just to make a statement. Granted I highly disagree with JD but I also understand that a good used combine is still 200k+.
You right to repair people have your hearts in the right place, however still misinformed a bit, Deere does not stop you from physically working on your own equipment. Only thing right to repair is concerned over is the diagnostic software to look up error codes and such, Deere won't stop you from tightening a bolt up, changing a filter, changing engine oil, etc. Please stop making people believe that Deere doesn't want you to touch your machine other than to operate it.
@@Zero01k Sir, your lack of understanding the 'Big Picture' needs some correcting. I suggest you WATCH the Congressional hearings and outcomes yourself. About 2.6 hours worth. You would find it extremely enlightening.
Because frankly most of the stuff you hear about it online is grossly exaggerated. The operation I work on runs mostly deere stuff and we’re free to fix on whatever we want. Software gets sticky, but you can still do it if you buy tools from them. Unfortunately, the software thing is hardly a Deere thing, that’s just industry standard these days.
