That in LA or AR? Looks like he's doing a good job, also looks like the field was drained well.

What is a normal yield (bushels to the acre)? What price do you get for it when it is sold?

They are just getting started with rice here but corn is almost done. I've never seen this much of harvest done and it's not even september.

it's in south La. and it goes by barrels/ac with a bbl weighing i think 162 lbs. yeilds vary due to soil and weather anywhere nowadays from 30 to 60 bbls/ac and price fluctuates due to market anywhere form 16 to 30 dollars/hundredweight. Rice season is over half wat finished now except for the early ones that harvested and are making a second crop in the same field

that is a 35 ft header on that combine, they make a 42 ft for it.

What is he using as a rotation crop if any.
Crawfish; Soybeans?????

Are those Seagulls?

john in la · Aug 26, 2010

No they are not Seagulls but are Cattle Egrets
Very common in our state.

Wow. Never thought about it. I'm in the midwest and all we know is corn, beans. Can you please walk me through a typical season.
