I cant wach him any more because he has made a political video and you should just keep your opinions on that stuff to yourself

[@fletcher3913]

13 hours of work in 10 minutes. That's my kind of workday 8-). Thanks for taking us along.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

In the future with robotics and neurotransmission we should be able to breeze through 13 hours of work in 10 minutes. Until then my hands will be rough. Great to hear from you and enjoy the rest of the weekend Mr. Fletcher! -M.

[@lydiaanderson4020]

@ Hello fletcher3913, How are you doing?

[@MARILYNANDERSON88]

Thanks for all your hard work. We love rice!

[@richardburguillos3118]

So much.... so much to learn... so much I have learned... what respect I have for rice and farming... you the man... wow. You could start a rice farming fit program and get people to pay to help you 😉

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Hey Richard! Thanks for the messages. I’m glad you’re enjoying my channel and rice farming. You’ve got great ideas...get people to work in the fields and PAY ME FOR IT! That’s like the best business model ever. Take care, Richard! -Matthew

[@mathewkuriakose2698]

Really great... I am Mathew from India

[@arfarms5711]

Is it crazy that I go back and watch old vids when I’m bored? 🤫🤫. I enjoy watching rive farming TV

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Not at all-It’s what a lot of people do to help get a better understanding of the production method and to learn that every year, due to weather, is different. I have playlists that are by crop year for that reason. -M.

Lost my Dad in 1996 so cool you you get spend time with your dad. Dad's are precious Please enjoy every moment you have with your dad. When he passes you will miss him more than you can imagine. Tell your dad a guy in Seattle likes how much he gets mentioned in these viedoes.

[@thecrazymanfromireland]

Holy crap thats a mountain of work well done 👍👍👍👍

[@thomaslamora1679]

awesome. i love the view into how hard the work you do is. I'd love to see more of these throughout the year...even some of the "off season" work preparing equipment and other stuff. I'm not sure that your work is ever really done and find it very interesting.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Hi Thomas, thanks for your messages. I love doing these 'daily vlog' style episodes but it's rare because it's difficult to film and work at the same time. I like taking angles and editing them together which means I've got to move the camera around and adjust its settings, etc. So until I get help with that...I've got to approach the videos as individual topics and allow the series of episodes to carry a longer arch that demonstrates the workload. Great suggestion and I appreciate the insight! -Matthew

[@shaunroberts9361]

This is so awesome. You channel is great, Well Thank you and I will be watching for sure.

[@holliechristianseuropeanex6051]

This is a really cool video! Thanks for being so informative.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Thanks Christian, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the feedback. -Matthew

[@ricklarouche4105]

We cook our rice like we cook pasta, NO MEASURING.. Add rice to boiling water, cook until tender, done! Try It you’ll like it! Great job on telling your stories, how did you meet your wife?

[@bassifarm4224]

It seems very easy rice farming . Gud job.

[@sparlant8594]

i think its funny that if a field got like that here in iowa, everyone would get really mad, but there is like yay!

[@K_ber1]

Cute kid

[@sbollmeyer]

Great video! How many rice crops can you plant a year? I was stationed in Korea and have been living in Thailand for 10 years. It's interesting to see the various ways rice farmers from different countries farm rice. It's kind of funny how the Thai Jasmine rice I used to get in California is better than the Jasmine rice I get in Thailand. They export the high grade rice to other countries.

[@SwagOnSwoosh]

Pretty interesting. I like the tunes in between. Thank CBS for bringing me here.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Thanks for dropping a comment Michael. I'm glad you found your way here through CBS. That was a fun interview. Have a great Friday and keep in touch! -Matthew

[@VanceCrowePodcast]

Dang Matt those corn farmers in the midwest don't have anything on you. I didn't realize how much work rice planting is! #cropfit

[@Ricefarmingtv]

It's a lot of work Vance to ensure everything is working out when so much is going on. A lot of this stuff has to happen during tractor work because once there's water in the field the accessibility is impossible. Thanks for being you and doing what you do my friend. -M.

[@farouqomaro598]

Great video

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Thank you very much Farouq! -Matthew

[@ronilsonbr]

Ótimo vídeo, parabéns! Fala português ainda! haha

[@pittmanfh]

I was watching Asian foodies channels and got curious as to exactly how rice is farmed. They have rice paddy's along the MS River which I drove by once. So I knew you flooded the rice fields. But I had no clue as to how you brought that stuff from the water to the market. Nice channel.

[@joaovictordasilvasilveira2709]

muito bom o vídeo também trabalho com arroz no Sul do Brasil . Rio Grande do sul. sou apaixonado por essa Cultura. Eu escutei uma conversa em português. acho que sua esposa e brasileira.. parabéns pelo video

[@guamich1]

Cool music and cool hat Matt I am sure you can get some pretty good shots with a drone man that would be awesomeness

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Thank man! Yeah I have a drone and include some drone shots in my videos but this planting season has just been too busy and actually very windy! Plus with all the cropdusters in the air if be hesitant. But I'll pull it out soon enough my man! -M.

[@guamich1]

Rice Farming TV you are so right looking forward to see one in the future when the rice is all green and please include those buttes in the back thanks Matt

[@Ridg.e]

We still don't have water on our rice in Arkansas, and it's almost 2 weeks after y'all started. Y'all do your irrigation completely different than us, I guess it's our abundance of ground water here.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Howdy Ridge Dawg! I'm glad you contacted me because I'm very interested in the difference between how rice is grown in California and Arkansas. How do you normally irrigate your rice? Surface water? Ditch pumps or deep well pumps? Aren't you boys all flooded out down there (as of a week ago)? I wish you all the best during the planting season. Please keep in touch! -Matthew

[@Ridg.e]

Most of our irrigation is from deep well pumps, a few farmers that are close to Rivers and sloughs use them for water. Yeah we were flooded there is still some roads and fields under water but all of our land is dry. We started pulling levees today an hopefully start putting water on them this week. Another interesting thing I saw is that y'all fly on your seed, is that what the majority of farmers do in your area because around here we don't do that very often.

[@jdiggindirt]

I love the shovel bro I just bought the same one lol

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

Your bowl of oatmeal looks WAY better than mine :)

[@Ricefarmingtv]

I eat oatmeal nearly every day. Dash of cinnamon, seasonal fruit and a splash of milk. How do you prepare yours? -M.

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

@@Ricefarmingtv I'm almost as old as the dirt you're discin' up, and all those years has just been milk and sugar. The vid of yours looked so good, you've talked me outa my rut.

[@adiirawanrusdi4343]

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

I want to plant rice for my duck club...About 140ac in an alkaline soil....Can't use fertilizer, so can you refer me to references where I can learn about growing rice in this type of soil?

[@lydiaanderson4020]

@Hello Steve Miller, How are you doing?

[@spoutnikmox3455]

What kind of fertilizer are you applying? Do you hire a contractor to do the job and how is the applicator shown in the video working? Does it incorporates fertilizer into the ground ? Thank you and nice video !

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Hi Spoutnik! Thanks for the great questions. We apply aqua ammonia (nitrogen fertilizer) with one ground rig (tractor with small chisel shanks that inject the fertilizer 3" deep. Then we roll on 8-10-8 with a rig that you can see at the 2:42 minute mark of this video. So a whole lot of nitrogen with some starter phosphorus and potassium. Please let me know if that clears it up. And please keep in touch! -Matthew

[@spoutnikmox3455]

Rice Farming TV Thanks for your answer! I think it would be interesting to show us the equipment you're using to incorporate fertilizer... if you have some time to do so of course..! Do you put anymore fertilizer on the rice once you've flooded the field? Thanks for your time, keep up the great work and "bon courage" for the planting season!

[@dirtymikentheboys5817]

Rice Farming TV Do you purchase the fields from the state or owner, or rent them?

[@joshhiary7060]

Am I the only one to just realized some farmers live in normal suburbs.😕😕

[@Samschannel-xi2ev]

Sorry to be that new guy that just found your channel and ask a different question on every video; but I have got to know whats with your t shirt you were wearing when you were eating breakfast? Did you just like it, are you bohemian, have you been there? I am Bohemian and live around sever old full blooded Bohemians, who’s parents and grandparents moved here from the home country. This is why I gotta know about this shirt. Thank you for the great videos.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Hey Sam, I lived in Prague, The Czech Republic for 6 years. That shirt in the episode is of the local soccer team. The north region of the country is called Bohemia and the southern region of the country is called Moravia. What is your lineage of Bohemian? That's super interesting! -M.

[@Samschannel-xi2ev]

Rice Farming TV It starts with my grandpa my dads dad. He was full blooded bohemian he was born on the farm I live on and my family still farms. His dad was born in America about 65 miles south of here and moved and bought our farm on 1899. His dad was born in the home country near Prague I am not sure where they lived there, but they moved to America in 1875. Thanks for the great videos Matt.

[@zachdoane2862]

I’m an Arkansas rice farmer

[@villagecitylifevlog5722]

Rice Farming TV I have a question please I also asked in your other videos but you didn't reply me so no issue.. Question is I am from Pakistan and here we are using the method where we are using labour to transplant rice from one field to other.. They way you dropped the seed from plane is it a successful method than ours. Please guide.

[@javierortiz6255]

Show us how you guys fill up the canals

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Javier! This is a great suggestion. I will definitely do that and let you know when it's uploaded. On some rice fields we do need to do a lot of work in order to get water out of the canals and into the fields. Thank you very much and I hope you keep in touch! Have a great week. -Matthew

[@baljeet890]

Hi. I am from north west part of India called the food bowl of India. I have been doing farming and growing the basmati variety of rice(white) . I want to get in the brown rice market. Do you have any tips or things that I should absolutely avoid

What is the deal with the wood railroad crossing? temporary for seasonal work?

[@hokevin5455]

Your guys are really busy right now. 14 hours per day for 13 days...I think it will last for another month for planting preparetion..

[@Ricefarmingtv]

We won't fly on seed past June 1st. That's attempting crop suicide. So we are busy now trying to get it all done as soon as possible Kevin. Getting tired and running out of time. Take care buddy and see you soon! -M.

[@hokevin5455]

Take care of yourself in such a hard working. See you soon.

[@sanfranciscobay]

All the physical labor of closing off the water sources and the digging the holes with shovels, wouldn't that type of work be better done by 15-25 year old men? Teach them how to do it and then send them to work and have them send you a photo of each job as proof of the work done. Is there enough profit for you to hire them and use your time to be with your family or managing the employees?

What a bust day man. #chropfit

[@KanwarSingh-yk6vm]

Sir what fertilizer u use before planting rice

[@Gasperan1]

Is it too late to start preparing the fields and start planting now, its 12th of june.... 😶

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Jozef, great question but it's hard for me to answer that because I need to know where you want to plant this rice. What's the climate like now? What will it be like in 140 days? Let me know my man. Here in California, yes it's too late to plant. It would be very, very dangerous. -Matthew

when I was planting rice in southeast Missouri around first to middle of may was ideal.time

Well who is that guy back behind you talking to 🤪🤣

You mean " Now i need do get some coffe" did you mean that ?

Exactly! I allowed the sign to do the talking for me. You got it! -Matthew

[@sanfranciscobay]

Would your time be more valuable having younger, hard working high school or local people to do the grunt work that you are doing, then you manage their work. Show them how you want it done, have them take photos, send them to your phone/computer, you approve, then they move on to their next job.

Already planted at this stage?

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Hi Jim! We have about 500 out of 1,600 acres planted. Another 500 are darn close to being ready. We just need to apply fertilizer on some and flood the others. We are making good progress. -M.

[@jimd9511]

Rice Farming TV Are you going to show a video of y'all planting?

[@Ricefarmingtv]

You bet Jim! I'm trying to capture it all on film but it's difficult when I'm so busy running back and forth. -M.

[@mehsmehmeh]

What language are you speaking at 3:58?

[@Ricefarmingtv]

I'm speaking Portuguese because Clara, my wife, is from Brazil. We speak it a lot in the house so that I can keep practicing and our daughter Elena is exposed to it. Good question! -Matthew

[@dirtymikentheboys5817]

I never asked are you part Brazilian or just learn Portuguese for your wife?
