We do not have any specific experience that we can yet reference in California. In other traditionally flooded areas, we have seen rolling the straw followed by doing typical tillage practices, which similar to what is done where burning is not an option.Jake LaRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13460370243407453690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421454811736887585.post-20605665489821943002010-12-21T22:05:15.812-06:002010-12-21T22:05:15.812-06:00Hi Jake.

Were not in a drought right now, so getting district water for flood irrigation is ideal especially at the low price per acre ft.. I really like the idea of being more conservative when it comes to water no matter how plentiful it is. So my question is...Say I installed a center pivot on my rice check. How do I get rid of the plant after the rice has been harvested if I cant burn or flood anymore?SlickRick530noreply@blogger.com
