Sweet Spot

FCOP rice about one month before harvest.

God has been good to us, it seems we’ve hit a “sweet spot” in the rice production cycle. It appears that the rainy season is ending, which didn’t start until September 12th. The Cambodian Water Festival, one of the biggest holidays in the year has been cancelled due to drought. The first crop was lost entirely to drought and we lost 75 acres of our second planting before we got enough rain to save the rest. Then a rouge cyclone in SE Thailand dumped six inches of rain on our rice and we have received a good six weeks of pretty regular rains after that. Our rice is “heading out” and what we have may be some of the best in Cambodia. We are about a month from harvest but trusting for some good news.
