2025 Abstract - PARISH RICE: THE HOW AND WHY: The United States was once known for great quality rice. In 2010 we started losing our image of the highest quality rice and to this day we have not done anything about it. We are growing a number of different varieties that have slightly different cooking qualities that we could use to our advantage by selling specific varieties to specific consumers. In time this could put some value back into rice.
