260 Million Pounds of Rice to Dry!
In my California harvest 2016 episode (11) we followed the journey of freshly cut rice from the field to the drier. Now, watch how the rice is dried down to storage moisture (15%) and stored under optimal conditions until shipped out to a mill for processing. Matt Jones, Operations Manager, of Red Top Rice Growers (located in Biggs, California) gives a tour of the drying facility and warehouses. His son, Eben, joins us as he enjoys both rice and filmmaking.

No leveling of 130 degree bins in July and August in southwest Louisiana.. THAT"S NICE. Shoveling rice in sauna like conditions in a corrugated bin in the middle of summer with 18 to 21 percent moisture rice is one sweaty affair.

Great job Matt. Education of the masses is a great thing. It surprising how many folks that live in the valley have no clue about the agriculture that surrounds them.
