Manassas Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Sorry that so many have had their crop damaged, but there's still so much oversupply that prices are still way down this year. Bad year for rice farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 The last few days I have seen stalwart farmers and helpers harvesting flattened crops by hand. Most have no choice, as it being their only living. 'Some years are easier than others' comes to mind. Sent from my SM-P355 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
