Thanks to consumers with more adventurous tastes and changes in America’s ethnic makeup, rice consumption has grown dramatically. Rice farmers in Louisiana bring in a double harvest in their rice fields, meet an Arkansas farmer raising special rice for Japanese diners, and a California rice grower saving wild duck eggs.
