Boy I'm glad you amended your position on the rice. In a perfect world it would be planted to germinate in wet soil/mud. Once it sprouts and grows just a bit it will 100% THRIVE in standing water. That's primarily how it's grown in an agricultural setting. "Planting" rice in actual standing water is problematic for a number of reasons. While not ideal, it can work in the right scenario to a limited degree.
I put out 75-80 pounds of Nitrogen per acre, so that is 4-5 bags of 34-0-0 per acre. Stay tuned for upcoming video, we plant and fertilize an acre of rice
That’s great to hear. Let me know if it works. My concern with the fall seeding is the duck will eat it before it ever emerges in the spring. Report back if you have some success!

Always learning and never too proud to say I was wrong! I address this in this years swamp videos as well. Check them out if you havnt.
You may be able to generate an extra income stream, if you'd have a link to 'where' to buy that rice from :)
Do you use 50 pounds of fertilizer per acre?
