Rice Seed Production

 

  Rice Seed is our core business in which we rely on our decades of experience in rice production and seed conditioning. Some of the high points in our rice production philosophy that allow us to produce Registered and Certified rice seed are:
  • Precision land-leveled fields
  • Strict crop rotation protocols where rice is planted every third year
  • Systematic in-season inspection, utilizing established rogueing lanes
  • Off-type plants are quickly removed by supervised and experienced labor; then examined closely before destruction
  • Strict adherence to fertilizer and chemical input programs that focus on producing a consistent, high-quality product
  • Careful harvest techniques are utilized to minimize seed damage
  • On-farm dryers are used to maintain high germination levels
  • Drying accuracy is monitored continuously by computer controlled fans
  • All production, drying, and storage equipment is certified by Mississippi Crop Improvement Association inspectors
