## Caption

Can you believe we’ve been growing rice in California for 83 years?! As organic farmers, we manage weeds naturally, with water. After planting, we raise the water level *just* high enough to drown the grass weeds, but not so high that it harms the rice. Then we drain the fields and return the water to rivers and streams so the aquatic weeds will shrivel in the sun and loosen their grip on the growing rice. It’s a delicate balance—one that brings the rice to the brink of dying. But after 83 years, we know *just* when to reflood the fields and bring the rice back to life. It’s part of our commitment to farming organically—no herbicides needed—so we can keep growing together for another 83 years and generations to come. 👨‍🌾🌾🌎 ⁠
