For example, did you know in our regenerative organic rice fields, we drown and dry up weeds instead of dousing fields with chemical herbicides?! Let’s get into the weeds, shall we? 🤓 ⁠ ⁠ When it comes to rice farming, there are two kinds of weeds: grass weeds and aquatic weeds.

This requires careful and, sometimes, near-constant observation as rice can only survive under water for about 48 hours longer than grass weeds. That’s our window to make sure the rice survives while the grass weeds drown. But here’s the thing: Aquatic weeds LOVE water. So, once the grass weeds drown, it’s t...
