日本の稲作と規模が違いすぎて草

Youtube subscriptions have made me lose track of a Japanese Youtuber I mentally call "rice man" due to his experiments on growing rice paddies in Japan and affirming my suspicions that you don't need to grow rice "paddy style" to have thriving rice. Update: I could not find him.

Meanwhile, in upstate #NY, rainfall is increasing, leading some farmers to consider growing rice in paddies. Opportunities exist in agricultural land that lies in flood plains, and promises benefits for aquatic bird habitats as well.
