Harvesting Rice in South Louisiana

This is extra footage from the 2021 harvest of Lamm Brothers Farms John Deere S790 harvesting rice in South Louisiana.

[@EDBZ28]

As a farmer of conventional grains and soybeans, it blows my mind away watching them put through such green material through the combine.

[@AerialAg]

Yes I hear that a lot lol

[@edro3838]

I was thinking the same thing. Always wanted the dust to fly when running beans being concerned about the throat clogging up.

[@EDBZ28]

@@edro3838 right! I wonder what the differences are?

[@edro3838]

@@EDBZ28 🤔 you got me?

[@AerialAg]

@@EDBZ28 The rice itself is dry and brown, its just the straw that's green. The rice will regenerate a ratoon crop that's harvested around October. Most farmers down here in Louisiana raise crawfish in their fields after harvest. The green straw provides food and shelter for the crawfish.

We love rice in Louisiana !

Those egrets are sure having a great time eating the grasshoppers and bugs

Great video 👍

[@BRPFan]

Awesome video! Wonder why I don’t get notified anymore? It just looks so odd as there’s no duct and combining such green material!

[@peteacher52]

Nice to see lovely birds like egrets following the combine. If it were gulls, there'd be no peace in the nursery! It's an education to me to see rice being harvested green. I would never have thought it either possible or profitable.

[@AerialAg]

Rice is a rough crop to harvest. The combines require special "rice packages". Without that the rice will eat holes through some high wear areas of the machine.

[@killjoy270]

Is it sad that I thought the thumbnail was someone playing farming sim 22 😂 damn video games are getting realistic

[@AerialAg]

Yea they are getting more realistic looking for sure.. Hoping they add rice in the future.

[@MJorgy5]

Be sure to keep Uncle Ben away from your operation.

[@AgritechFutureUS]

*These agriculture machines are changing the face of farming. Which one do you think would help farmers adapt to climate change the most?*

[@killjoy270]

None lol these guys do not pollute enough to worry about these machines are green green as is if anything your going electric would be your best bet but then that takes time away because you have to charge it and when you have weather on the way it’s something that you shouldn’t have to deal with to get the task done

[@nleefry]

I wonder what the birds are looking for? What could the rice growers do with the leftover stubble? Could it be used as silage?

[@SkinSatisfy]

Agricultural machinery is a driver for development, generating employment, income and value-added for the rural and urban areas, as well as the national and global economy.❤😊🌱

[@JohnyAngelo]

this looks more like combine harvesting grass .. its so green

[@banglarkotha2474]

So nice😋🇧🇩

More like July-September. This is leftover footage from last year.

[@Chauhanvlogsup19]

Nice 👍

[@tarefoot]

Do they flood the fields again after harvest to raise the crawfish?

[@AerialAg]

Yes they sure do. This farm has a (or maybe a couple) seafood restaurants. They raised crawfish and actually got into farming rice later on.

[@jimpolk]

@@AerialAg wow. Never knew that.

[@Spyglass214]

And i though Brazil and Colombia were the only countries that harvested rice

[@richwielechowski5191]

Is this 2022 harvest or last years crop? Wonder how many birds he runs through combine? Thanks for sharing.

[@AerialAg]

This was some unused camcorder footage from 2021. Thanks for watching.

[@dirtfarmer65]

The birds have small brains but they just stand along side to get the little creatures scurrying away...

[@bickabraham2397]

Wondering do you bale the straw from the stalks?

[@AerialAg]

No, after harvest these fields will be flooded and the farmer will raise crawfish. The leftover straw provides food and shelter/protection for the crawfish.

[@bickabraham2397]

@@AerialAg Thank you for the insight!! Crawfish in the South. I get it living in Texas🤣🤣

[@nwyoda8792]

it seems a bit too green to harvest at least the straw is.

[@boomerang379]

Unlike wheat or corn, when rice is harvested the plant is still alive. In Texas and Louisiana they will re-flood, apply more fertilizer and harvest a second crop.

After John Deere filed suit to prevent farmers from repairing their own equipment (right to repair), Why would anyone continue to own and purchase from this despicable company? C'mon Americans, where are your ethics???

[@travisosborne1367]

The answer is simple. If equipment is paid off, why would a farmer go into incredible debt to buy different equipment just to make a statement. Granted I highly disagree with JD but I also understand that a good used combine is still 200k+.

[@Zero01k]

You right to repair people have your hearts in the right place, however still misinformed a bit, Deere does not stop you from physically working on your own equipment. Only thing right to repair is concerned over is the diagnostic software to look up error codes and such, Deere won't stop you from tightening a bolt up, changing a filter, changing engine oil, etc. Please stop making people believe that Deere doesn't want you to touch your machine other than to operate it.

[@raymondedge8889]

@@Zero01k Sir, your lack of understanding the 'Big Picture' needs some correcting. I suggest you WATCH the Congressional hearings and outcomes yourself. About 2.6 hours worth. You would find it extremely enlightening.

[@Beyonder8335]

Because frankly most of the stuff you hear about it online is grossly exaggerated. The operation I work on runs mostly deere stuff and we’re free to fix on whatever we want. Software gets sticky, but you can still do it if you buy tools from them. Unfortunately, the software thing is hardly a Deere thing, that’s just industry standard these days.

[@toledojeeper2932]

Actually JD now allows farmers to fix their own equipment. But many companies still do the same thing as JD did .
