What about Rice? Rice is one of the most important things in the world. It helps our body to give strength for everyday life, but what about Rice? We get easily tired when we do not eat rice for a day. Rice has higher carbohydrates content. Therefore RICE IS LIFE!



Land Preparation

For planting and harvesting of rice, it is difficult to maintain a high quality of a rice grains. Many hard tasks will experience by the farmer, before and after harvesting the rice grains. Before the rice seedlings ready to transplant, the farmer will plow the fields and clean the area. 





Harrowed Fields

Then the farmers will transfer the rice seedlings manually in the fields. They use pesticides to protect the leaves and stems of the rice plants. This generation, they now use machines for transplanting the rice in other countries. 






Irrigating the fields
They maintain running water in the fields to give a healthy rice stem and grow faster. The pest like golden kohol attacks the rice stems so the farmer will spray to stop spreading the golden kohol.







Healthy Leaves
The healthy leaves indicate that its grows normally and faster as shorten the time for caring the rice plants. It will produce many rice grains but it depends on the variety of rice. Hybrid rice produce high grains but inbreed rice is much less than hybrid. They use the leaf color chart to identify the healthy and unhealthy of rice leaves.


Rice Grains



The rice start to produce grains. After a month, it is ready to harvest, when the time that it will look like golden grains, it shows that it is ready to harvest.When the harvesting time comes, the farmers cut the stem and put it on the thresher machine for separating the rice hull and the rice grains. 







Harvested Rice grains
They suck the rice grains and they spread it on the cemented place for drying the rice grains. When it dried already and it is solid as stone, it is ready to sell or stock on your home. Many products in the market are all made with rice content like noodles, rice coffee, breads, soups etc. Due to the fact that it gives long energy to our body for doing many tasks every day. It is also use for any other occasions like rituals, celebrations etc.
            





What about YOU? Can you live for a lifetime without eating rice? My answer is, definitely not! Based on the reality now that all things getting expensive. All foods in the market are more expensive to buy. So the most important thing is RICE. Now, rice alone is enough than buy expensive food without rice. So don’t waste rice, don’t waste food!


Did you know?
            Nueva Ecija Philippines is one of the small countries that produce rice. Almost 70 to 75 percent of land area in Nueva Ecija is almost rice farm. They can export the rice and well support the Philippines rice consumer. One of the fact that sink in the mind of many Filipinos is whether you eat yummy foods, it’s better to have rice in the table than eat yummy foods without rice in the table.
