Rice of the prairies-oat that is like rice

[shootingstar]

Cows in India produce tons and tons of methane. Rice has been grown in the traditional (flooded fields) way for millennia. Climate change hasn't been an issue until the last 100 years.

The real problem is that there are too many people on the planet. But I digress...back to your oats.

Gosh, I never knew such an interesting thread would result.

No, flooding for farming is not a bad thing, if there are nearby sources of water to do this without a ton of human effort. Just for northern temperate areas it gets more complicated, because of freezing. That's why the article caught my eye. We just get wild rice in the northern climates, which is not the same as other rice varieties.

I didn't know smilingcat, about rice not needing flooding.
