Answer 2

I live in California, close to one of the largest rice producing areas in the USA. California produces more rice than any other state in the US. It is a beautiful crop to look at, this time of year the fields are being flooded, the water reflects blue sky, clouds and mountains in the distance, soon the fields will fledge new green as the  rice seedlings peek above the water, after that the fields turn a deep dark green during the main growth period of summer sun. As summer ends the harvesters come with their great machines to reap the golden harvest that feeds so many people. For me the whole process is a feast for the eyes...

Here are some statistics on the USA harvest of a few years ago.
