Rice Harvest and the Rice Festival

September is National Rice Month.  MSU Extension Rice Specialist Dr. Hunter Bowman visited the Crop Doctors’ Podcast studio in Stoneville to talk with MSU Extension specialists Drs. Jason Bond and Tom Allen about late-season observations, harvest progress, and outlook for the future for rice in Mississippi.  Upcoming rice events include the Rice Festival on September 21 in Merigold (http://deltaricepromotions.org/rice-festival/) and the Delta Rice Meeting on November 15 in Cleveland.
