Hi everybody! If you're interested in knowing what was happening in a particular quick scene during the count, let me know. I'll link you to the specific Rice Farming TV episode.
@@davidklassen9703 I am guessing it will be around 500 pounds per hectare based on his estimation of 10k pounds produced per acre and 1 seed resulting in around 50 seeds on harvest.
My entire relatives grow rice in Vietnam. When I visited one of their fields, I thought it would be fun to help out. I stepped right into the field with the water high, I screamed. The mud and bare feet didn’t go well. But watching them harvesting by hands and the whole process were just back breaking job.
@@vladimirlenin843 Most harvesters cost between $300,000 and $500,000 and renting one can cost thousands of dollars a month, so considering that on avaerage these farmers are only earning roughly $3 a day, it would be very difficult for them to be able to obtain a harvester which is why they can't just buy or rent one. All over Vietnam, rice farmers do use water buffaloes for work to drag things and plow fields, but even then the farmers still have to engage in gruelling manual labour.
Thanks for going to all that trouble Matt. I had no idea what to expect but I find the entire rice farming process extremely interesting, and you make it fun and entertaining. Thanks for what you're doing.
Hey Steve! No trouble it all. It was a great question and I appreciate the inspiration. I'm happy to hear that you're finding rice production interesting. As long as there's an interest and engaged viewers like yourself, I'll keep going! Take care. -M.
Be sure to count on tillering. One plant will produce multiple side shoots, which will each produce a seed head. Your count per head may be multiplied by a factor of ten or more.
I love your lab you take your studies back to.... watching you sweep the the counter/bench off I can only imagine the generations of your family that have worked in that shop.... it’s not just a bench top, it’s history, each dent, each scratch speaks of the work taking place to farm rice... Thanks!
We used your video in our homeschool class today, we learned rice was a seed and wanted to see how it was grown. your video collage showed a lot of steps in the process of seed to harvest. We appreciated your video. Young viewer comments: Tatum 5 yrs old: "5 Thumbs up!" Nomi 7 years old: "I liked it very much, thank you for putting it out."
It’s crazy to think such a small plant can produce so much. Then again you get a much better idea when you’re behind the wheel of a combine. Didn’t realize how much is produced until I started to pay more attention when I unload into the bank out. Nature is a beautiful thing!
makes you realize the delusion that there is not enough food for the world is just that a delusion, illusion. The earth has plenty to sustain humans. When we all realize this, we will no longer be slaves to the establishment and the rich elite.
To get an average the trick is to pick 30 plants at random. Of course that is not easy, so as to avoid damaging large amounts of the crop one would naturally pick plants from the sides of the field which could be either more or less productive. Most RUclipsrs do not think ahead like you do and realise watching you count 51 grains of rice could be a bit dull. As always you liven up your videos to keep them entertaining. Great job.
Wow.. you deserve major praise because it looks like rice farming is extremely very hard work! Thanks for the insight..I will never look at rice the same after seeing what it takes to get just one bag of rice!
Thank you so much for this video, Just had someone at work ask me how much rice does a plant make and I said, lets go find out and we found this!! Thank you for answering the question in a fun way.
I came here to found out how about rice and discovered a new favourite song by accident. Thanks :) ... By the way: The song is "Mother" by The Big Let Down feat. Divty (for anyone curious, I had to use Shazam :D)
Rice farmer from Texas here. Great show of the rice industry! One seed produces many tillers and therefore many heads of rice. One seed may produce 10x, 15x or 20x more than you see here on one head. In Texas where we can usually get a ratoon crop, that number goes up even more. We plant about 26 pounds of seed to the acre and have harvested over 14000 pounds to the acre with two crops in an extremely good year. These comments are not to criticize this great production, but add to it by showing the unbelievable things God has created that we as farmers get to produce to help feed the world.
You just have me the info I want straight away - THANKYOU I’m subscribing for that 10,000 per acre = 2,500 per 1/4 acre an thats the land I have to plant on (hopefully, I gotta talk to this old farmer guy with a bunch of land again. He said if I fix his fence an maintain his land I can have a 1/2 acre of his land to use an I want to use 50% for rice) I hope this is somewhat easy ..
I liked the addition of the steps in production of rice. People especially living in cities need to see this. I am curious about the actual depth of soil needed to produce a healthy rice plant?.
Hmmm. Never thought about how many kernels in one plant. Interesting question and good answer. Now, if I had the time I would come over and count how many kernels are on a bunch of plants for you. Ha ha ha! Well, that would be fun for something different to do. But 51 sounds like a good round number. Take care and I hope you are getting the cooler weather over there like we are here on the coast.
Gentleman I have one rice variety called NABANNA which once transplanted you can harvest twice . For example if you transplant it in January 1st then you have your first harvest in April 1st then you just add fertilizer and water new plant will appear from the root . Then in July 1st you can harvest again . It takes just 90 days for seed to seed
Hi everyone, I'm looking at growing rice in aquaponics. Do you know how much rice can be harvested on one square meter and how many times a year would harvesting be possible? Ps, thank you for your valuable information so far.
greetings and success of farmers from South Sumatra Indonesia. 🇲🇨🇲🇨 May the farmers' crops be bountiful and the farmers will be blessed, will have an abundant age and health amen🤲🤲👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾
Well I must admit that was more than I thought it would be. Do you have any idea what you average of plants per acre is? Keep up the great work mathew always enjoy seeing a new video on Rice Farming TV. Have a great labor day weekend. God Bless!!!
This is high quality production matthew,you should be down in Hollywood making movies,they would be better than some of the stuff that comes to my local theatre.😀
Excellent educational video. Thank you. And thank you for your hard work. I have always enjoyed eating rice of all kinds. As I have gotten older I am enjoying brown rice now more than before.
I was really curious about this. I eat about 1 cup of dry rice per day and I have two 25 pound bags of rice and I couldn't help but wonder: how many plants might it take for all this rice? Great video, and really well edited.
A Bangladeshi rice researcher has successfully produced a rice plant variety that can help to harvest paddy 5(five) times from the same rice plant The researcher name is Dr. Abed Chowdhury. Or Spelled as Chaudjury.. He wants to harvest the same plant for five times.
Hi @ricefarmingtv Thanks for the wonderful job you do here. I’m new to your page and I’d like to know step by step the process involved in rice farming. Can you point me to videos where that is possible? Stepwisely please with every details
Kyle, very true. And the amount of tillers depend on the stand. If the stand is lush enough then the plant actually wont tiller. That was the case in this example/video. In retrospect I wish I would have found a plant that had tillered and produced more seeds/rice. Thanks Kyle! -Matthew
Driving past the rice fields and wondering to myself what the heck rice looks like fresh out the fields... click on this video and realize that we’re neighbors cause I recognize that mountain range 😂
I have wondered how many seeds heads each rice plant {or wheat plant} can produce. I figure more than one. We live in farm country. I do know soy seed up one stalk and some types of beans can have seed pods the entire length of that stalk.
You summed up RUclips. An almost 5 minute video to. Not even answer the actual question “because you don’t have time”, but probably spent well over an hour making and editing the video.. also I will save you guys 4 minutes of your life the one plant he counted had 51 rice kernels.
Depends! The field from which I pulled this plant was lush with a thick stand of rice so the plant did not tiller (no need and no space). So it's almost better to take a look at a square area of space to get a solid average for the field. To get a better average for individual plants it would be better to select them from all over the field (pulling ones with tillers and ones without). It's a hard question to answer because there are so many variables. But that specific plant had no tillers; nor did its neighboring plants. -M.
Hello you have a cool channel. Learning about how rice is made is interesting. Y'all not very far from us. Do you do tours on the farm for us city folks Lol?
Hi Tanya! Thanks for the message and I'm glad you're enjoying my channel. We don't normally do tours of the farm because we are just so busy. Also I'm not sure if there would be any liability issues (especially for large groups). We're not far from you? Where do you live? -Matthew
Honestly, it’s a lot less than I was expecting, because I’ve always heard rice yields anywhere from 150-200 bushels and I was just expecting to hear a lot more. What population are rice fields usually seeded at??
We fly on a 260 lbs. per acre. It's maybe a little above average for the area. Rice is an amazing plant in that if you have a lush seed bed and not much room for outward growth the plant wont tiller and thus produces less seed per plant. If there is a lot of open space the plant will fill it in by tillering and thus produce more seeds per plant. -M.
Is it possible for someone with a very small piece of land (3 acres) to grow enough rice to feed one person. I want to know if it would be logical or if I should just focus on other vegetables.
Great work! Im located in drylands and Im gonna try to grow rice without flooding the paddies with one or two previous crops to create soilconditioning, humidity and nourishment for the plants. Im still looking for the best strain to do that and for any inputs. Its a demonstrative kinda altruistic project with return in our dryland project so any advice is appreciated. Thanks for sharing! Keep the great work...
Mr. Camiranga, thanks for the message! I wish you the best of luck with your awesome project. I know that the plant breeders at the California Rice Experiment Station have been working on drought tolerant rice. Google their website for more info and perhaps contact them. Are you in California? Thanks again for the message and encouragement. -Matthew
Need video link: burning grass/weeds prep of the field with the torch. Got one like that at work but we melt some snow from the rail switches in the winter. Do you grow more than one type of medium rice in case of disease mold or rice bugs? Just bought corn 🌽 from a natural farm in the Northeast he uses no pesticides or herbicides. He said watch out for the occasional worm. So I go to get an ear from my fridge 2 days later didn't notice the green catapillar eating the green leaf outside. Really sweet natural corn for real. Love the channel, when is the next Oroville/rice farmimg update with Blancorillio, Juan Browne?
Here's the link, DW: ruclips.net/video/swfg6Uy8_Tk/видео.html We only grow Calrose medium grain rice but we do grow 3 different sub-varieties: m105, m206 and m209. They all have different maturity point, some yield higher but have weaker plant matter, other have stronger plant matter (which helps them stay standing). Man, JB is always welcome to the ranch. I should invite him during harvest while we're cutting rice. That would be fun. Thanks for the nice message, DW! -M.
markythearky, I flew a small passenger plane for a little bit in this one: ruclips.net/video/vMnkMHbFiBo/видео.html Too nervous! But maybe I should get my hours! -M.
Terosh, we are thinking second or third week in September. We have been using September 20th for a pin-pointed date but that could easily shift by a week either way. All depends on how hot it is and how rapidly the plants and rice kernels dry out. We are draining our fields of water now. -M.
Buddy love from India 😍. Your videos are awesome. I just want to ask if you shoot these videos alone or u have any assistant. How u edit them? It’s a really tough task for a single person. Also buddy where did u learnt this awesome videography 😁😊😍 May this season ur crop break all previous records🙏🏻
I eat approx 51 rice seeds per spoonful. I eat about 25 spoonfuls until I am full. How many rice plants did I eat? Hint. I like soy sauce in my white rice...
stepheng1967 states he has planted 26 lbs of seed an acre and got a harvest of 14000lb an acre (two harvests) for a ratio of 1 seed planted to 540 harvested. Would you tell us what is your plant to harvest ratio is? Something similar? It's pretty cool if you can get 500 times the amount of seed back from what you plant.
Could you determine the below details if possible? Number of crops in 1 square meter/foot Weight of kernels in the same 1 square meter/foot (assuming it will be around 1.25 kgs)
Where does a rice plant come from? How are they grown? Is it a case of planting one of the seeds from the head? In soil or water? Can they grow just in soil? Jeez, I could ask a million questions on this, I know nothing of one of the world's most common staples.
Hi everybody! If you're interested in knowing what was happening in a particular quick scene during the count, let me know. I'll link you to the specific Rice Farming TV episode.
What video is it where you're burning something?

How many pounds of seed do you need per hectare for seeding it is my first year so I need some information if you can give me some
You pulled a stem and called it a plant? Rice tillers.

B Ye it’s always one of the greatest experiences in live is one when understanding and explore other parts of the world and their culture.
Nice, next time try it with boots. I've got to try growing some
They don't own harvester?
Why don't they just rent one

Is it possible for someone with a very small piece of land (3 acres) to grow enough rice to feed one person. I want to know if it would be logical or if I should just focus on other vegetables.
Wayyy more than enough space. 1/25 of an acre could still get you over a pound a day single cropping annually.

We use 5 kg of seed per acre and produce approx 3000kg to 3500 kg

What i see is, if you plant a 100kg of rice seeds, you're going to get 5000kg of rice. That's quite ok
I eat approx 51 rice seeds per spoonful. I eat about 25 spoonfuls until I am full. How many rice plants did I eat? Hint. I like soy sauce in my white rice...
Great yield!
stepheng1967 states he has planted 26 lbs of seed an acre and got a harvest of 14000lb an acre (two harvests) for a ratio of 1 seed planted to 540 harvested. Would you tell us what is your plant to harvest ratio is? Something similar? It's pretty cool if you can get 500 times the amount of seed back from what you plant.
Could you determine the below details if possible?
Number of crops in 1 square meter/foot
Weight of kernels in the same 1 square meter/foot (assuming it will be around 1.25 kgs)
Where does a rice plant come from? How are they grown? Is it a case of planting one of the seeds from the head? In soil or water? Can they grow just in soil? Jeez, I could ask a million questions on this, I know nothing of one of the world's most common staples.
I would have never guessed 1000 kernels
