Integrated Duck Rice Farming - Part Two

Part Two in a series about Integrated Duck Rice Farming in Vermont. Our friendly farmer, Erik Andrus, grows northern varieties of rice at Bound Brook Farm in Vergennes, Vermont that are suited to the New England climate. He uses ducks for pest management and weed control, resulting in a delicious all-natural rice product.

Those ducks think it's heaven being in those paddy fields ❤

[@SusanCountryLife]

The countryside is so calm and perfect for farming.

[@jamesl9371]

Wow. I live in Hoi A Vietnam and a lot of rice is grown like it has for centuries. I love watching the stages of planting and growing and harvesting. And they have ducks! Now I know a little more about it. Thanks

[@arvivirash5561]

You can see he clearly enjoys what he's doing, it may not be very profitable but still satisfying

[@skscorporation9534]

yes you are Right

[@judil3294]

Wow, I would have had no idea you could grow rice here. I love the idea of using the ducks, and watching that rice planting machine, what I think is also ingenious is how it doesn't get bogged down and stuck.

[@adelynorata3766]

Your singing was beautiful.

[@BigVtheVanity]

This man is an awesome person.

[@romeobenitez7827]

Inspiring to a beginner farmer . Thanks for sharing.

[@lyn9306]

Thank's GOD, i was born in Philippines all this stuff i experienced and I was happy because not everyone in this world experienced this kind of wonderful experience...😘😘😘

[@YukitoOnline]

Hehe Dami nyan sa Montalban

[@jmar8507]

Thank God for our farmers.

[@feeareon]

Incredible, raising rice in Vermont. Vermont is very cold even in the summer

[@febriones1895]

I have a small Rice farm , i really appreciate this kind of integrating Ducks to Rice plantation it help much to reduce Labor and purchasing pestesides and i think theres no Need for fertelizer

[@chaikiankhiong]

Absolute saluti to what you are doing. I wish I could start my community project right now but will have to wait for the opportune moment. My idea is to show young people a way to a healthy and debt free life depending largely on mother nature for food, shelter and energy, all very viable. Gone where the days of aiming to get a higher education to feed the family. Not only that we have been conditioned so much to be useless at anything else to cope independently. All good past skills must be brought back. I will make it a point to pass on such skills and hence would invite people of all walks of life and skills to take part in my project. One of its kind in Borneo. Best wishes, bro. Keep up the good work.

[@KenFrenchMedia]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful ideas!

[@8smemhel786]

happy to see you guys doing this job, which we used to do when we were young back in the philippines. its a back breaking job because we dont use machinery before.but feels great when we have abundant harvest. thought only asians can do this job.

[@CitizenAyellowblue]

Portugal knows all about it. They grow a lot of rice in Portugal.

[@SoulWhite]

I bet those ducks are delicious, full of all sorts of wild goodies.

[@maalat]

I love the singing part.

[@deondaylisan2995]

whahaha golden eh

[@JodBronson]

Ducks + Rice = Asian Restaurants! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@justaguy4real]

4:50 hilariously awesome. The ducks look so funny waddling around

[@CL-mp4vn]

Wow ! I love to see USA rice products 🌾 in the stores instead of made in Thailand rice. I hope this rice is soft, moist, just like Japanese or Thailand rice, not very dry rice as we see in store. I think the ducks are happy to hear your voice, your singing.

[@justaguy4real]

3:30 wow so awesome. The stuff they've developed is simply incredible.

[@TLFarm]

We are using khaki campbell ducks on our rice paddys in Thailand. Brilliant ducks 💪💪💪

[@rajeshchowdary8026]

How much production of rice of one acre.

[@lyn9306]

Nice 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@rajeshchowdary8026]

Hi I would like to start duck farming, could please share some details.

[@rajeshchowdary8026]

Could you please share some details on this method of farming

[@sunnyoutdoors]

4:40 he talks and sing to the ducks, that's what we wait for

[@pattihainline1573]

Wow those look like some well fed happy ducks! 😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@egymenez4809]

Thanks for sharing.really appreciate.

[@FF-cz8sg]

beautiful work, respect👍

[@ฟิโกโล่]

👌

[@curtn7076]

in America old small farms used to keep the chicken in the corn fields. It worked! Now factory farms only use chemical pest control and fertilizer.

[@liamj3163]

I love rice and ducks

[@MrYugato]

Thank you so much for the advice! Thank goodness I work from home, because today I have to keep running hot water outside, as my hose is frozen!! I need a proper farm with a barn so bad :)

[@wickedbird1538]

😊😊Happy Duck Life. These ducks get a wonderful life instead of being raised in small cages.

[@amazingnature6057]

That's my dream. I love that environment. Thank you for sharing the video.

[@sarabasumatary1402]

Waw ! Duck farm. So many hard working. Thanks......

[@GuwahatiOrganicGreens]

We have been practicing this technique for black rice production.

[@SoulWhite]

I don't think blacks eat bugs. They mostly eat KFC chicken.

[@GuwahatiOrganicGreens]

@@SoulWhite ROFL😂🤣

[@yusrashahzad169]

Nice video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SUN-it6rf]

God bless him. 🙏🙏🙏

[@MrCMVikram]

I can't believe that all those ducklings gathered around to hear him sing.

[@allisoneliotrea1156]

Hoorah for the life of a country duck!

[@alimamybangura1399]

Thank you for the video ♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️

[@Zaleroseinthecountryside]

Wow awesome ,, high tech farming ,,the duck are looks love the environment

[@i.asasmithaputri2632]

One day I will have some rice fields, and farm like that, so happy 🤗

[@karthik829]

I never knew people grow rice in new england

[@23babu]

Tera jesa Sudur bhai ko kaha pata hoga

[@souravshekhawat9614]

Thanks for this video. I am from india and in previous year viplab deb a chief minister of one of the indian state made a statement on the use of ducks in farming. The whole Indian media led by psedo left liberals criticized him . But this video proves that he was absolutely right at that time

[@bonglokta]

For a moment judging by the green vegetation, I thought this was in South East Asia. Turns out its New England (region in United States). Beautiful land.

[@bradmitchell3765]

I thought the same. When I was in Thailand I'd see rice/duck farmers then see the ducks for sale in the markets.

[@im_denial]

Great videos!

[@johnmoore8016]

I bet that mud plays the devil with the machines. It always amazed me how they grew rice in a flooded. I first heard of using duck and geese in insect control was in cotton farming. thank for education on rice farming.

[@Elfunko99x]

Perfect location for rice farming with climate change leading to higher temperatures. Further south could be too hot and lead to rice bleaching. 👍

[@telurasinmontasik2406]

very good idea

[@maribethmilam6610]

One of the biggest problem in the rice field especially those birds called maya. When the rice starts to bear the grains that’s the time they attack the field. Have you experienced those kind of problem in your rice field? How can we get rid of those birds? Will they attack the rice field while those ducks are still there?

[@only_FANtasy]

every time you grow rice you raise new group of ducks? or you only raise one group of ducks that can work few rounds?

[@alancwwong]

Good farmer

[@nithishmadurai6600]

very nice sir

[@josephwijesuriya887]

Very interesting.

[@redshedllc9054]

This is really cool man . I use rabbit like that ,isn't duck manure strong though ,?do you use the water level to adjust ppms?

[@burnout02urza]

No artificial ingredients, only duck.

[@enkuhkoji]

Amazing

[@erikandrus6879]

Thank you Fukunaga-san!

[@Ducktalesfarm]

❤❤❤

[@findingneverland9744]

Smart farming

Our ancestors had better ways of dealing with nature. Hope we continue with such organic way of growing food. Reduce the harmful fertilizers.

[@maribethmilam6610]

While those ducks were on the paddy do you feed them with extra feeds or they were just feed mainly whatever in on the paddy area? I’m planning to do this kind of method in my small rice fields around an acre. Will 100 heads of duckings will enough or do I need more?

[@kolapyellow7631]

A great idea, I would do the same if I have the rice paddies. Do u eat the duck or sell them for meat. ?

[@ShahidulIslam-sc9vb]

Wow awesome

[@birjitmeitei]

Ducks control the pest

[@angelofamillionyears4599]

So you use no pesticides or insecticides?

[@kissmisskanchi1550]

Fabulous

[@hameedakundih8134]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌

[@SRsatron]

Very nice 👌

[@ciceroaraujo2552]

Fantastico

[@yoyo6940]

Its awsome

[@burleybater]

Marvelous. What works in Asia can work in America too - why not? Give this job to a lucky bunch of ducks, instead of chemical companies.

[@kolapyellow7631]

Their poops r good fertilizer. Organic rice farming. The rice taste better without chemical.

[@jabezriver3211]

I’m very curious if you have mosquito problems farming rice or if maybe the duck integration helps with that..?

[@angelofamillionyears4599]

Interesting

[@chapkitikonrut1676]

Wonderful.

[@junrelesteva5801]

Your duck is so very 😂😂 hungry 😂😭

[@maribelrex5049]

nice tech adapted from japan... no chemicals

[@vintageb8]

AI will never beat that

[@chilliking3424]

amazing.. can we have more video about this?

[@jaswantsingh9287]

Awesome...

[@kdaung]

how many time a week do you let your ducks in the field ?

[@dariussaulenas6603]

when the farmer stars singing 😂😂😂

[@hanishsraj]

Wont they damage any rice saplings...? By walking over them..? Or any other way..?

[@Nargismedia8714]

অনেক সুন্দর🍎🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@precialmeida6254]

Good video. Do you leave the ducks in the paddies, or bring them Out everyday ?

[@KenFrenchMedia]

See the new video for the answer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIKrlqiimbasq9k

[@belajarternakbareng8605]

Muantuapp

[@balirealife4902]

Did you grow the loaches?

[@moose-yu3oe]

Fatten em up for duck season

[@syedpigeongreece]

like 22hi my new friend

[@michynature]

Make sure you wash your rice really well!!!

[@sudhakarraju6848]

Cute

[@Queammu]

Heyy has anyone tried releasing these crazily awesome ducks on a pomegranate farm for pest control?

[@aronman241]

7:06 is that duck eating rice

[@Orecatmeatprocessors]

What happens to the ducks? Are they slaughtered for food at the end of the rice-growing season?

[@KenFrenchMedia]

Yes, they are. Erik has since started mixing in Muscovy ducks, which are better on the table.

[@angelofamillionyears4599]

Is the rice non GMO

[@chateytung]

I never see a white man farming rice , where is this place?

[@babyphat8965]

Read the description.

[@JimWhitaker]

State of Vermont, NE United States.

[@dirtymikentheboys5817]

Arkansas

[@wilsonluytan212]

Is the mechanized rice planting machine widely used in China and Southeast Asia?

[@lesterhersh7184]

How much does the transplanter cost

[@darshansanap508]

how many acre land???

[@idcashflow]

in here we use tilapia and ducks

[@kolapyellow7631]

Can rice be direct seeded on the planting field?

[@idcashflow]

you can but not ideal

[@howardjohnson2138]

Could you use Canadian Geese?

[@johnwitman8171]

Guess not. They are not as friendly, may ruin your garden

[@erikandrus6879]

Geese will eat rice and are too big to fit between the rice plants.

[@findingneverland9744]

I nevervtought there is rice paddies in the US
