Arkansas rice production exceeded 207 million Bushels in 2007, nearly 48 percent of the entire US crop.

We have enough rice to sustain people in the US. Still the prices are going up? I'm guessing we're seeing the increase in rice prices because marketing it involves going thru various greedy food brokers who will certainly sell our rice to overseas markets for large profits. It's always about the money.

This might create a shortage here if tons of money can be made selling our rice overseas where they are clearly running out.

I try to keep a supply of food on hand in case of emergency..Better safe than sorry..be well.
