This is upland rice, grown like wheat, unlike lowland rice, which is grown in the flooded fields.
Sow inside in late April (here) the set out in late May; Harvest late August.
One pkt from this guy is about 250 seeds.
A 10’ X 10’ plot (4 X 25 makes it easier to work; and is easy to bird-net) holds 100 transplants.
Depending on variety, that should yield 6-9 pounds of “paddy rice” i.e. unthreshed rice, which yields 80% post threshing of brown rice; or 70% of threshed & milled white rice.
5 plots would give about 30-32 pounds brown, or 27-28 pounds (about 70 cups) raw white rice, and a sore back. 🙂
Not this year; won’t have room for it.
