The John Deere Tractors are Fertilizing our Last Fields!

[@ottoneidlinger4938]

It’s not a real episode of Rice Farming TV if it doesn’t show turning the truck key off , opening the door and then closing the door. It makes me chuckle every time you do it Matthew. Please never stop. Excellent video as always.

[@FieldRows]

Hey bud I’ve been subscribe to your channel for awhile now but just tonite I watched a full video. I usually just skip around the videos. Super interesting. I’ve seen rice field driving through Arkansas but never knew rice was grown in California. Also your intro is mint!

[@dallasschwartz7135]

Hunter; errrrr I mean Matt; so This is what you do between the end of the season & Spring Training! You're secret's safe with me... lol Love the vids!! NorCal Rocks!!

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

That 8 day taproot was impressive. Good job on the dirt work!

[@satnambawa0711]

Glad you are finishing your planting . Great video again

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Thank you, Satnam! -Matthew

[@MattSpooner69]

I see you are in Butte County. That's cool My family does rice and almonds in Glenn and Colusa county. Good to see someone local spreading our unique brand of farming for the world to see. I feel like rice gets over looked alot by the guys in the Midwest that do wheat and corn

[@tomvanzuthem657]

Found u thru Rob Sharkey's pod cast and I'm glad I did also that was a great intro👌🏼👌🏼

[@wry569]

Great video. Glad you have all fertilizer applied. Now for flooding and planting!!

[@jonathanhuggins3010]

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Here in india, we use 8 kg/acre of rice and harvest 4000 kg in DSR ( direct seeding rice) technique . And use only 2.5 kg/acre when we transplant it.

[@michaeljones8079]

Glad you finally got your stink water Matt. This has been a year unlike any I've seen in 35 years of hauling, loading and now operating the terminal it all comes from.

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

That's interesting. How's the supply valley-wide? Are you all caught up or are some farmers still waiting?

[@michaeljones8079]

@@LuckyBaldwin777 we aren't shipping any ammonia right now, it's the growing and soon the harvest season. We have more ammonia now than we can ship. Our next vessel will be either delayed or amount delivered will be reduced. A very weird year...

[@jeremymullen5378]

Can’t believe the water on the farms now.. wow rice looking great

[@Ricefarmingtv]

It took a lot of tractor work, Jeremy. But now we've got water in the fields. The rice is looking good! -Matthew

Great Video Matt Hello from Firebaugh Ca

[@satwinderwander4805]

I like your videos i am rice farmer in punjab india i would like to work on your farm

[@ricklarouche4105]

Matthew, Would your dad do an interview about the Sligar Family Farm’s history? ...when did it start, when did it get to be such a big time operation? Choice of rice to raise? Issues of the day? Any Sligar family skeletons? (Kidding, don’t ask that) 🤣

[@Leecraker]

Hello question... I live in Thailand on a rice farm. My Thai family has grown regular rice like yours and also green and black rice but mostly rice like yours. It is hand processed with a home pounder and then sifted before we eat it. So my question is, on the regular rice like yours, how can I tell by looking if it is processed enough to be “white” rice or if it is still healthy “brown” rice? I mean the color is white to my uneducated eye. Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@genechronister7085]

Another great vid

[@matthewmeents1287]

Nice video.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Thanks Matthew. Great name. -Matthew

[@maheshpothuraju9206]

[@jeremymullen5378]

How’s thing going, is rice looking ok? Or

[@jfss6657]

Hey how much tons you got from rise per acre ?

[@anthonytassinari5984]

Some help please. Which ATV would you recommend for a rice farm in the Philippines, Thailand etc.? Why?

[@JoseAguilar-rv7dr]

Come on rice 😂😂😂😂😂 it's a little dusty 😂😂😂😂😂😂 be safe God bless

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Thanks Jose! I hope you're well. -Matthew

[@markussmyczek4709]

Hello, I have a question. Will store-bought brown rice germinate?

[@nikosgpaok]

Hi Matthew, how many units of N do you use tottaly per acre? How many as broadcast and how many as topdressing?

[@jeremymullen5378]

Hey man wats up

[@Mansingh-vx4tl]

Sir what is your fertilizer formula please full explian.what is chemical ratio?.i am used this in our fields.

[@patmancrowley8509]

Whazzup, Corey?

[@SmallMartingale]

Wazzup Cory

[@markknowles8159]

What percentage of NH3 to water? Aqua Ammonia percentage?

[@michaeljones8079]

Around 24% ammonia and that is roughly 20% nitrogen...

[@mooorecowbell4222]

What are you guys doing watching golf on TV? There is a new episode of RiceFarming TV !!!! (Marketing 101 "stress urgency" and get great ratings)

[@j.lebowski3917]

Is it mostly other farmers stealing the aqua or different people stealing it to sell to other farmers?

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

I find it hard to believe that other farmers are stealing it. I'm thinking it's looters looking to resell it.

[@rossconsbruck5944]

I'm kinda curious, but how come you guys just don't build a fertilizer rig yourself and save a ton of money in application costs? We farm less than you guys and we put all of our N on ourselves.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Good question Ross. It's just so nice not to have to think about it during winter prep--leading into spring tractor work. It's nice focusing on water and not fertilizer once we get to that point too. But it would be a good business move. You're right. -Matthew

[@yepblaze9977]

Who hit ya. You lower lip is swollen from it. Mmmmmm gotta love that nitrogen. Ricky Bobby Frankie Lucy Matty and pops.

[@Ricefarmingtv]

Mr. Blaze, not sure who hit me. Not sure I was even hit. I just have full lips. Lover not a fighter, I suppose. -Matthew

[@markashcraft9624]

the audio in your truck sucks your voice is very garbled in your truck better mic ?

[@sanfranciscobay]

Matt. Did you ever consider going to College and getting a College Degree? When you look at the amount of physical labor that you have to do every day (especially shoveling the dirt), it might make a person want to go to College and get a Degree. When I graduated from High School, my options were to get a job and work, which means hard work, or go to College and get a Degree. I went to College, got an AA, then a BA, then units towards the CA Teaching Credential and units towards a Masters Degree. Going to College was easier than working as a grunt.

[@kevinmeyer3884]

I am guessing Matthew has a college degree. FYI most farmers actually like the physical labor part of farming! I do !

[@ericwall6301]

It’s hilarious that you think this is working as a grunt, as a large row crop farmer from southern Indiana I hold two degrees. I promise you, I make more from being in your eyes I’m sure just a dumb grunt farmer in a year than you do in 10. Our yearly operating budget is over 10 million. It’s so comforting knowing the people I strive to feed think we are all uneducated idiots who just work like slaves.

[@ericwall6301]

Oh and I should mention, I’m a high school drop out that after the events of 9/11 went and proudly served my country before returning home to take my place in the family farming operation. So maybe get off your high horse, you college degrees doesn’t make you half as special as you think.
