Me and my 2year old son love watching an episode before bed, although in the UK we can't plant rice we plant what veg we can and my son gets his tractor with the plough on to prepare the ground like you do with the chisels, keep up the great work you belong on TV you d get kids back into farming. :-)
Hehehe, I'm a self-proclaimed poet now. And I'm probably going to retire after this one. I took me quite some time to write it out. Thanks for the nice rhyme! -M.
This is why I love this channel, it's so whimsical and fun. The passion you show for your work, while you are out in the sun. Looking around this video is different from most of the others, But still educational as you run the ground with your cutters. I'm just no good at poems, they're just not very nice. But good fun I had with this, while you're out farming your rice!
Farming’s a passion Shared world round, Tilling the soil, Planting the ground California’s fashion While kooky and weird, Nice to see a farmer With a cap and red beard!
Sites of the Buttes, along with the sun, motivate this girl to look for a pun. I'm a long way off, but this vid makes me a kid. Farming day... hauling hay... peaches pay. Farm life in California is sure to build ya!
That was a fun video for sure. :-D I loved your rhymes. But don't expect that out of me. Ha ha ha! The wild critters were fun to see. I love the little burrowing owls - so cute. And I learned a lot about how to plant rice. Now to go to the next video to see how those little rice seedlings are doing.
I'm studying farming my university is all about rice we plant in a different way I am from Panama we don´t use planes to drop seeds from the sky, tropical weather make us use a lot of pesticides for bugs, for weeds and something more, I always like your videos and is always good to know something new. grettings from Panama And I hope you have a good harvest
I love seeing the area out there i grew up in Yolo county by Knights Landing kep up the great videos Matt my sincerest wish for a prosperous year for your family
Wow! That must have taken hours to put together. Looks like you had great weather. Love it when the RUclips alert appears, I am going to enjoy these videos for years.
Thanks that was fun and informative! I noticed that in countries like Japan, where the scale of farming is so much smaller they put transplants into the field as opposed to direct seeding.
We just had soybeans seeded by airplane yesterday. Flown on our wheat crop which will be harvested in a few weeks. This isn’t something we normally do, but we’ve done it once before in a wet year like this and it worked really well.
Hello Matt! So nice to see the tractor work done, and the rice seeds flying in the bright California sun! I loved seeing all of the wild critters, although I must say, the snake gave me the jitters! 🌞🌾🚜
I would like to know more where all that seed comes from and how it is prepped. I like your rhyming I really must say, I would do the same but it would take all day!
Comments are good on this video about rice But how about a question, would that suffice With the cost of the plane to fly on the seed Wouldn't a tractor pulled rig be up to the deed Could you spread out the seed before the fake rain Or does the pilot just need a job to do with his plane
What method is utilized to flood the rice fields with water ? Can you please make a video to cover that aspect of land preparation ? Also please expand on irrigation methods ? Thanks! Great material !!!
I really like the Deere tractor that's what I use to run as you can tell and please do not yell I bet all that work makes you smell lol what do you think please don't tell me that I sink into the brink lol God bless you and your family
Not sure a rhyme I have or to use...I can only hope your amazing shows get millions of views. Thank you for all your hard work and fantastic shows!! Take care be safe.
I love seeing my home, On this little box, From slithering snakes, To raptors and squawks. O, Mathew my friend, This video rocks, It tickled me pink and, It blew off my socks! Your talent is great, Your hair like a fox, I wish you good luck, With this year's new crops! (Edited *SIX TIMES* in an attempt to preserve my stanza formatting, but it seems that RUclips has zero concern for my poem looking right in their comment section. I'm very sorry.)
And now it's FINALLY in the correct format, making my note at the end look foolish. But I don't DARE edit it to remove the note because I fear I'll lose the formatting yet again. RUclips.
You know I'm starting to like this guy MattWhen it comes to Rice he knows where its atI would bust out more rhymes if I had the time But a car shows a calling and its my time to shineMatt I'm absolutely fascinated by your channel as you can tell from my comments. But what I really want to do is drive that harvester like I did in last nights dreams after seeing your vlogs. (I didn't drive it into a culvert or hit any rocks)Why don't you have a farm camp at the next harvest so some of us farmer wantabes can get some seat time and really see how hard rice farming work is.Thanks
We only work with solid fertiliser in our rice production systems (Portugal), we spread part of it before seeding (dry soil) and than we do a another application, 1 or 1.5 month after seeding. Very interesting to see how farmers work in different ways!!
Very interesting indeed, Lopo! Thank you for this nice message. Where in Portugal do you farm rice? I would love to see, first-hand, how rice is farmed there. -Matthew
Most of the rice farming area its about 30min from Lisbon, so you should come visit our country and I can show you how we farm rice and other things, it would be a pleasure!! ;)
Hi, Matt, You applied fertilizer twice. What is the composition of fertilizer in both instances? In my avocado fields, I apply mainly potassium nitrate as avocado trees take about 3 lbs per tree. Also, do you do any soil or plant tissue analysis to tweak fertilizer?
Matt: Do you plant with grains of rice from your last year's crop, or do you buy special seed from a dedicated seed producer (I'm thinking of how corn farmers buy hybrid corn seed)? If the latter, maybe you could do a video on the differences between creating a food and a seed crop.
I sell Case IH equipment in La. it’s crazy the different types of equipment y’all use than we do here. It’s very interesting. Have you tried a Kelley diamond harrow for your straw management yet? Just curious of your thoughts I sold two last week.
Some people might do one or two creative RUclips videos but to be still going strong with your 70th is some going, in the UK we see commercials suggesting what a great place California is to visit, and I am sure it is, but your communication feels much more authentic. Great photography and crystal clear sound. Keep up the great work.
Wow, thank you very much Charles. I really appreciate your kind and encouraging words. I don't think I'd want to do a video if I didn't think it had a creative or education element to it. I mean I never thought I'd do a video just to 'do a video'. California is a very diverse state, from north to south the geography and people are different--all beautiful in the regions own way. Thanks again for the message and have a great week. -M.
Hi Palash! Yes we do apply more fertilizer to our rice crop at panicle initiation (the start of the reproductive phase) via crop-duster. We call it top-dressing. Please let me know if you have any other questions. -Matthew
Is there any other mechanized way of applying the 1st and 2nd top dressing besides aerial application? Similarly, for spraying, any other way besides aerial application? I'm aware you can do it through drones.
Hi Matt! Love the video. It is very entertaining. I have always wondered where all the critters go that live in the rice fields. Do you bother to try and save any of them if you see them prior to the tractor work?
Matt, Another great video as always ! Apparently Dr Seuss has invaded your house ! I just read where your Governor has declared your state in a permanent 'Drought Emergency " ! Any thoughts you're willing to share on how this will affect this year's crop ? What do you anticipate the effects might be for CA farmers going forward ? I wonder if any in Sacramento give a thought to how their actions will affect the migratory birds visiting you annually either !
Another great video. I saw animals this video. Snakes eat field mice and frogs. What does the turtle eat? The hawk eats the snakes, the frog, the turtle when small I think. What about waterfowl? What is next on the agenda. I hope that you will show young rice.
Thanks once again Matt. Heres a little ditty for ya: "The moral of the story; the moral to this song is simply one should never be where one does not belong. So if you see a neighbor carrying something, help him with his load and don't go mistaking paradise for that home across the road" B. Dylan From Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
I love Dylan, Joyce! I'm familiar with the song but forget the lyrics. I'm going to give it a listen right now. Thanks for jogging the memory on some forgotten poetry from the great Robert Zimmerman. Have good week! -M.
Hi Matt awesome video. I dont usually write comments on youtube but your video is awesome and I have a question burning in my head. I usually see farmers replanting their rice over here in South East Asia but it seems that its not something that you guys do over there, is there a particular reason why the rice is not replanted?
I watermelon, I'm sure glad you left a message and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the episode. We don't transplant seedlings because it would just be too labor-intensive for this size of our rice fields. We fly on our rice seed and can plant a field of 150 acres in under an hour. Also our seed can thrive in the natural environment and don't need to be nurtured in a greenhouse prior to planting. Please keep in touch and let me know if you have any other questions. -Matthew
I love this! Thanks for the nice, honest feedback, Patrick. You're the third person, in a positive way, told me that you didn't care for the rhyming. I have though received a lot of parents telling me that their kids enjoyed it. You just can't win 'em all! Thanks for staying positive and supportive. Have a great rest of your weekend! -M.
Matthew you kind word they did teach me a thing or two that the field it's twice fertilized and to make ridges in the field for seed and a plane nice to see does spreads the seed and how did I do.
Thank you Tim for the feedback. This one was for the kids out there. I've been reading a ton of rhyming children's books to my daughter and was a bit inspired. Also I wanted to do something a bit different from last year's episode at this time in the growing season: ruclips.net/video/DNRUoTh6Np0/видео.html Thanks Tim, always great hearing from you. -M.
Both! :) The rainy season has gone, and I'm feeling cold to the bones. Outside is to freeze, and I miss the warm breeze. Yesterday I was working on my tan, today no good news from the weatherman. It was so fast, I wasn't prepared. My only warm thing is my beard. Like a swallow I want to migrate, where the sun settles late. But lot of chores have to be done, so better to start to run. Stop dreaming about the beach, or I'll listen no good preach. If the works I prioritize, Europe will be the prize.
Sure Joe, that's something to celebrate! What's your mailing address? Rice is a little expensive to ship but I can get you something. E-mail me your address to matthew@ricefarmingtv.com thanks! -Matthew
Ha! Randall this was a holiday special that came early. I never though of it like that. Thanks for the message. I hope you get all the presents on your list this year. -Matthew
Hello! I would like to ask you what kind of nitrogen fertilizer you use because in Europe we are taught that nitrogen does not adhere to the ground and large amounts of water wash it and the plant can not reach it anymore. I predominantly cultivate corn and soybeans and i try as much as possible not to have accumulations of water in the field. You do a great job.
We are apply aqua ammonia three inches deep into dry, dry soil so it does lock in. Where in Europe do you cultivate corn and soybeans? Very interesting, Dragos! Thanks for the nice message and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Take care! -Matthew
Hi, we farm in the northern Sacramento Valley in Butte County in the towns of Gridley, Biggs and Richvale (north of Sacramento by about an hour). Rice hulls can be used as animal bedding and feed. Hulls down in Louisiana at Farmers Rice Mill are burned to create energy. We decompose the straw in the fields over the winter. There is a new operation out here in California that will be turning the straw into ply-board building materials. -Matthew
it is totally different with what we do here in Asia, here we plant the baby rice, not the seed, we plant the seed in temporary place, and then when it grow we take it so we can align the 2-4 week plant in our main field.
What is the difference between flying in the seeds and using rice paddies? Can i just grow the rice organically fom seed instead of growing paddies and regrowing it like the asians. What is the difference between the methods if i am growing it organically no chems
Hi Nyoman, well planting rice is pretty easy for us. We just fly it on with a crop-duster. Here is one of my videos which shows that: ruclips.net/video/X94F_spmZzU/видео.html -Matthew
From seed raining down just like it's hail To straw being gathered in a big giant bale Matthew works his ass off in fields by the Buttes All to grow rice for cheeseballs in suits (not everybody that eats sushi is a cheeseball in a suit, but that's all I could figure out to rhyme)
Me and my 2year old son love watching an episode before bed, although in the UK we can't plant rice we plant what veg we can and my son gets his tractor with the plough on to prepare the ground like you do with the chisels, keep up the great work you belong on TV you d get kids back into farming. :-)
Matt is a poet and I didn't know it. Hope there's more to come from this farmer/poet. Have a great week. God Bless!!!
Hehehe, I'm a self-proclaimed poet now. And I'm probably going to retire after this one. I took me quite some time to write it out. Thanks for the nice rhyme!

God bless you and all of our family farmers
This is why I love this channel, it's so whimsical and fun.

But good fun I had with this, while you're out farming your rice!
I worked for a crop duster and we flew over the fields and planted the rice God bless you and your family
Farming’s a passion
Shared world round,
Tilling the soil,
Planting the ground
California’s fashion
While kooky and weird,
Nice to see a farmer
With a cap and red beard!
Perfect! "Keep rice farming weird!" I like it.
-Matthew

Waiting with anticipation and glee, for the next episode of Rice Farming TV
Now I know what was going on as I was driving by the rice fields over time! The mysteries of farming so nicely explained.
Glad to see you and Dad are doing well it was 2007 or 2008 the last time I worked for your dad
I'm studying farming
my university is all about rice
we plant in a different way I am from Panama
we don´t use planes to drop seeds from the sky,
tropical weather make us use a lot of pesticides
for bugs, for weeds and something more,
I always like your videos and is always good to know something new.
grettings from Panama And I hope you have a good harvest

DID NOT KNOW THE SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS TO ACCOMPLISH PLANTING.
THANK YOU, VERY EDUCATIONAL!!
Azure skies entice
The fields a shimmering paradise
Bear the gift of rice.
Thanks you very much sir I really appreciate your time
Thanks that was fun and informative! I noticed that in countries like Japan, where the scale of farming is so much smaller they put transplants into the field as opposed to direct seeding.
This is great for kids and school. 🏫 Now it's summer they play in the pool. When Autumn comes harvest you will. Then you will have your fill.
Excellent! Thank you, DW. I'm in need of a pool too. These days aren't getting any shorter but they sure are getting hotter.

The tractors keep rolling till the rice is a flowing. Great video again. What’s the rate of fertilizer your putting on?
Another great Video From Rice Farming Studio
You didn't know it?
Now your a poet.
Thanks for the effort you put into the rhymes. It made watching the video a jolly good time.
Thanks for the message, Mark. I'm glad you enjoyed. It was an episode full of fun. But for now my rhymes are done!
-M.
I would like to know more where all that seed comes from and how it is prepped.
I like your rhyming I really must say, I would do the same but it would take all day!
Comments are good on this video about rice
But how about a question, would that suffice
With the cost of the plane to fly on the seed
Wouldn't a tractor pulled rig be up to the deed
Could you spread out the seed before the fake rain
Or does the pilot just need a job to do with his plane
-M, glad to see you back. great video.
excellent work matt.... very nice

Thank you very much, Malhi! I appreciate the encouragement.

Have you ever tried a power harrow to break up the clods and apply fertilizer in one pass?
Hi Matthew, when you add the NPK, what are the percentages of each? thx!
Hi Matt, Do you apply fertilizer during crop growth stage? If yes, then how do you go about it?
Hi Palash! Yes we do apply more fertilizer to our rice crop at panicle initiation (the start of the reproductive phase) via crop-duster. We call it top-dressing. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
-Matthew
Is there any other mechanized way of applying the 1st and 2nd top dressing besides aerial application? Similarly, for spraying, any other way besides aerial application? I'm aware you can do it through drones.

Hi Matt is Joe I like your style i am in antrio Canada planning to go back home in Guyana south Africa is your method will work in Guyana? Take care
omg they plant the rice with a plane! lol i came to the video expecting a tractor or something lol. thats crazy.
Another great video. I saw animals this video. Snakes eat field mice and frogs. What does the turtle eat? The hawk eats the snakes, the frog, the turtle when small I think. What about waterfowl? What is next on the agenda. I hope that you will show young rice.

Great video! How many pounds of rice do you plant per acre and how many days from planning to harvest?
How can I get in touch with Mr. MATTHEW? Thanks
Good job Matt, but I don't think I can bust a ryhme like that
DID i win rice for being the 7,777 subscriber. haha nice video now to binge

hi! may I ask where in California you are located? and what can be done with left over rice straw and the hull please?:)
Hi, we farm in the northern Sacramento Valley in Butte County in the towns of Gridley, Biggs and Richvale (north of Sacramento by about an hour). Rice hulls can be used as animal bedding and feed. Hulls down in Louisiana at Farmers Rice Mill are burned to create energy. We decompose the straw in the fields over the winter. There is a new operation out here in California that will be turning the straw into ply-board building materials.

My son Alexander is by my right hand. He'd like to know "Where does the crop duster land?"
How can i machanise my farming .
it is totally different with what we do here in Asia, here we plant the baby rice, not the seed, we plant the seed in temporary place, and then when it grow we take it so we can align the 2-4 week plant in our main field.
What is the difference between flying in the seeds and using rice paddies? Can i just grow the rice organically fom seed instead of growing paddies and regrowing it like the asians. What is the difference between the methods if i am growing it organically no chems

hi brother, why you not show to me how to plant a rice..?
Hi Nyoman, well planting rice is pretty easy for us. We just fly it on with a crop-duster. Here is one of my videos which shows that: ruclips.net/video/X94F_spmZzU/видео.html

All to grow rice for cheeseballs in suits

What happened to the snake? hope it's not in a cake.
Harvey, your question is great! Where is the snake, indeed? He's probably living in the levee, under the weeds.
