Update on February-planted rice in Missouri: we have one variety at 3-leaf, while others may have finally given up after missed rains.

Meanwhile in Missouri (May 2): mid-March planted rice is ready for pre-flood and rice planted on April 26 is emerging after 6 days.

Here’s a good read if anyone is interested in things happening in the Bootheel. canva.com/design/DAGBe2s…

We were finally able to get preflood N applied to our Feb 26, March 14, and April 5 planting dates today at the Missouri Rice Research Farm. Rice is growing well!

Taking some rice to flood over the last week and a half and have some unwanted guests at the Rice Farm…

March-planted rice is moving right along.

I had the pleasure to present a poster about seeding rate in furrow irrigated rice and got to meet so many great scientists and students from all over the world @ international rice conference in New Orleans

Mid-season at the Missouri Rice Research Farm.

We’re slightly ahead of schedule in MO.

We’ll take this going into heading and early grain fill.

February-planted rice update. March and early April have caught up, but we’ll be ready for harvest in a couple of weeks.

2024 FSA Rice Acreage has Missouri at just over 218k acres, a little lower than expected. Arkansas - 1.441 million Louisiana - 467k California - 446k Missouri - 218k Mississippi - 150k Texas - 145k Florida - 19k

Join us tomorrow for MO Rice Field Day! Tours start at 8:30 and we’ve ordered up 65° with a northerly breeze, 76° at lunch time. Blessed with great weather for the second year running. Type in “Missouri Rice Research Farm” on your favorite navigation app. Hope to see you there!

PSA that rice may be drier than you think it is!

Preliminary yield results from Missouri planting date trials harvested on August 26 and 27. Note that all trials were fertilized and flooded on the same days, May 13-14.
