With Rice Harvest nearing a farmer can gauge whether or not the crop is ready to be cut by taking a hand sample. Rice needs to be collected, stripped from the plant and taken into a sample room where a machine reads the moisture of the rice. Optimal harvest moisture is 19-20%. If we're close to that or a couple points off...we'll start cutting rice!
Also! A very special guest joins me while collecting the hand sample--Vicky Boyd, the editor of Rice Farming Magazine! She's doing an article on me and Rice Farming TV! So AWESOME!
