Rice harvest begins
Staff Report
July 14, 2008 – A small amount of rice
harvest has started in south Louisiana.
Stuart J. Gauthier, an Extension agent who works in Lafayette and Vermilion
Parishes, reported in a memo this morning that 2 farmers had begun cutting
rice.
"I received a report that Mark Simon harvested some early planted Cocodrie
and Josh Trahan harvested some early planted Trenasse," Gauthier said.
No reports yet on yield.
 Some
rice harvest was expected to start late last week in Texas, but there were
no reports of cutting on the Texas Rice Crop Survey web site as of its last
update on Friday.
