## Caption

Did you know it used to be standard practice to burn rice straw left in the field after harvest? In the 1940s, Albert Lundberg saw a better way: incorporating rice straw into the fields to promote soil health AND protect air quality. Today, we also flood a portion of our fields to replicate our region’s once-abundant wetlands. This provides vital habitat (and nutrition!) for migratory birds. But the birds aren’t the only ones who benefit. Their feet put nutrient-rich rice straw into contact with the soil, which decomposes the rice straw and turns it into mulch for next year’s crop. It’s a win-win-win of working in partnership with nature. Isn’t that delicious? Link in bio to learn more! 🌎🌾🦆 ⁠
