2020 looks to be the year for rice in Louisiana as the crop continues to head down the road to a bumper crop. Northeast Louisiana is playing a huge part in making this happen.
“The market was significantly better in relation to the other crops we grow, I think that’s why a lot of rice got planted. But, long term, the new technologies and new growing systems in rice really gives the farmer a much bigger playbook” Scott Franklin, President of the Northeast Louisiana Rice Growers Association said.
