I’m not sure how I thought rice was grown and harvested, but didn’t expect it to be done with a regular combine and header! Great video as always!

Grew up on rice farm in Liberty County. Our biggest combine was a JD105 with 16 foot header. No cabs, no air conditioner. Our carts were homemade & self propelled. The levees are usually put in the field prior to planting. The levees follow the contour of the land to help keep the water levels the same from one end of the field to the other.

Great video, Mike. There was a guy who a rice farmer in Northern California. They all these special trucks to haul the grain out of the field

called Rice farming TV...they were called bank out wagons, typically self propelled....I'd see them up along highway 5 on my way to Shasta

Rice is hard on a combine, it’s so course it will wear regular sheet metal out quick. Rice Ready machines will have SS sheet metal in high wear areas. Also extremely hard to thrash. The dams that he refers to are called Over Flows.

That is great loved it. Down under they brag about 20ton a hectare rice. That’s pretty close to the same yield per acre

Hi Mike, great videos! As a 73 yo retired farmer, I love it. BTW, I assume you know that here in Australia we call combines, headers? Best, David

Back in the day they they would have rice special combines. They were same combines but built heavy duty for harvesting rice..

Refresh my memory on the various conversions (i.e. from wheat to corn or rice or whatever). Is it just the matter of changing the concaves? I guess I could Google it. These new combines are fascinating.

@atomicwedgie8176 Жыл бұрын

They run specially hardened concaves and rasp bars, because of the abrasive aspect of rice.

I've never seen birds flying around a combine like that before. My luck one would fly right up the through the reel.

Rice is flooded to control grass and weeds. Rice used to be flown in with a plane after the seedbed was prepared in the mud (see water-leveling). Now with pinpoint accurate grades, dry seedbed prep and seed drills work much better

@duckhunt1902 3 ай бұрын

Here in California almost all of our rice is still sown by plane. A very minimal amount of acres are drilled. Must be the difference between long grain and medium grain.

@teecuzbruh4058 3 ай бұрын

@@duckhunt1902 Thanks! I'm always curious as to how things are still done. It takes that extra water to plant by plane, but whatever works best for the different regions cannot be ignored. A drill is a massive investment too, that sits idle a heck of a lot, like a rice combine. I was just pretty floored to watch Matthew Sligar from RiceFarmingTV do all that prep with bone dry ground, and then flood to plant by plane

@duckhunt1902 3 ай бұрын

@teecuzbruh4058 it doesn't take a whole bunch of extra water. We flood to 3 inches or so for the initial flood up and sew. If your rice is sewn by plane then you will soak the seed for 24-48 hours before it is flown on. Gives the seed some weight to sink in the water and starts the germination process to give the rice a jump start on the weed pressure.

@teecuzbruh4058 3 ай бұрын

@@duckhunt1902Broadcast seed is presoaked here too, and flown on in the water while its draining, Down south we gotta get that water off completely (puddle)after seeding by plane to throw a root then turn the pump back on immediately. But we also used to work the ground n the water, particularly following a crawfish pond. I've been a "flagger" for planes before GPS. I'll be shocked if I don't wind up with some weird cancer before it's over from breathing in fungicide/herbicide

I'd like to know if the hardness of the steel in the wear prone parts of the separator has been increased or Stainless steel is subsituted for the mild steel. Because of the hardness of rice, it probably makes a tad more noise than threshing softer wheat. Anyways Mike, thanks for all of the excellent videos that you share with us.

@madmaxhabib Жыл бұрын

I was just wondering do they plant rice in these fields every year or do they put something else into the rotation?

Never seen a modern combine run so slow in my life

@scottlejeune6302 5 ай бұрын

These combines have over sized headers and rice is a tough grain to trash.

@duckhunt1902 3 ай бұрын

If you think this is slow wait until you see down rice get harvested. You're down to less than 2mph. Sometimes down less than 1mph if it's wet and down

@tamiller84 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the great video. Just wondering, how does the yield for rice compare to the yield for wheat? Do they measure in bushels per acre.

@duckhunt1902 3 ай бұрын

California rice farmer here. Rice is measured in sacks as opposed to bushels. One sack=100lbs. Here in california we average anywhere between 90 and 105 sacks/acre.

@snekkerenp8036 Жыл бұрын

Good video. Can you tell me why they are driving so slow? Is the field too rough or the crop too thick? Do you know what kind of yield they are getting?

@piperdoug428 Жыл бұрын

so i assume the stubble is pretty hard on tires too then

@davidandjenniarnett8907 Жыл бұрын

I see that the combines have the straw chopper bypass. Will they come back an bale the rice stems? What is a good yield for rice per acre?

@duckhunt1902 3 ай бұрын

Here in California we use straw spreaders instead of choppers in rice. The rice straw is often green and really tough. Really hard on straw choppers. You don't see them out here at all. Bailing is becoming more common but the majority of rice straw is mowed and disked after harvest. A good yield in California is between 90-105 sacks to the acre. One sack =100lbs

@nezrom9864 Жыл бұрын

Plants look much heavier/thicker than wheat. Do the combines go slower because of through put limits caused by the heavy rice yields?

@duckhunt1902 3 ай бұрын

Yes, and the straw is still a little green when we harvest rice.

@bladewiper Жыл бұрын

What happened to the Case combine, they weren't using it ? Is it rice on rice, or do they grow other crops ? Will they bale the straw, and what for ? Thanks.

@samson1200 Жыл бұрын

I was just wondering Mike if they are going slow due to the darn birds so they don't go thru the machine and have to dump a bin full of rice due to the blood?
