2020 Louisiana Rice Field Notes #9

Louisiana Rice Notes. Yield Report #6. August 21, 2020. Dr. Dustin Harrell. No. 2020-09.

Rice Harvest in Full Swing Before Hurricanes Arrive

Growers are harvesting the remaining first crop rice fields as quickly as possible this week before the potential arrival of two hurricanes. Currently the storms are classified as Tropical Storm Laura and Tropical Depression Fourteen. However, both are expected to make landfall on Tuesday. While the exact landfall of the two storms are not certain, both have the potential to hit rice production areas in Louisiana and Texas. There is also a possibility that the two storms could interact with each other moving the tracks and even combine into one storm. Figure 1 in the PDF shows the current track of the two storms.

LSU AgCenter Survey

The LSU AgCenter would like to begin gathering agriculture information from producers and consultants using very short 1 question surveys.
