Bad Rice Times

Every year, just about ‘round this time, the rice gets heavy and the stalks keel over. Sometimes it happens in small spots here and there. Sometimes it happens in big patches. I’m not rice farmer, but I think this is sort of a sign that it is harvest time for whatever field it happens in.

Last year the rains stayed to late is it was worrisome. This year it is not just raining, it is still down right pissing down. That have left the rice not just fallen over and still damp, but fallen over, lying in pools of water. No telling how much of the harvest will be ruined this year.
