LOL, we don't farm rice like the Chinese. We build levees that are about 3 feet high on the to sort of staristep from the top elevation of the fields to the bottoms. (The ground elevation in our area doesn't vary more that 10 feet.) We have wells at the high points in the fields that pump water up about 60-100 feet from the aquifer below us. Once the rice gets big enough, we put a permanent flood on it until it matures and is ready for harvest. I couldn't find a good example of midseason rice growing on Google Earth, but if you look just to the East of the coordinates I gave you for our HQ, and move the slider to say 9/2009, you can see us harvesting rice. Yes, it is white table rice.(although recently there has been a market for medium grain so we've been growing some of that)
