🌾 Ever wonder how that fluffy Louisiana rice makes it from field to fork? 🌾

Here in the Bayou State, rice farming is a time-honored, multi-step process rooted in tradition and sustainability. From prepping the fields and planting in spring, to managing water levels and harvesting with precision—Louisiana’s unique climate makes it the perfect place to grow this Southern staple. 🌱
