Sowing rice seed by airplane into a flooded field on our organic rice farm in northern California. May, 2008

Actually LETCA, very little gets eaten by ducks. The ducks here are migratory, and have mostly left by the time we are planting.
Having just watched a video of rice planting in Laos, this seemed almost wrong. I'm betting a good percentage of the seed is quickly eaten by ducks and geese.
