Rice Farm Improvements

Rice is a resource. And we are exploiting it to build the kingdom of God. You really need to come and see our rice, and then look around the community. I honestly, in all humility, believe we may have the best rice in the entire country. Yes, God has blessed us, but it also takes applying the knowledge and skills that he gives us.These are photos of our rice, and one shot (lousy rice) is of the rice planted directly across the irrigation canal from us, by farmers who have been raising rice all their lives.  But, it is often what we don't know, that harms us. We were ridiculed for putting rocks on our field (ground up limestone), too much fertilizer, spending money on fancy seed, using weird equipment, but the results speak for themselves. And, we still have a lot more we can do.We have 30 young orphan boys learning this process. They are going to help change rice production practices in Cambodia, and God gets the glory. A year ago we were plowing in dust at this time, this year we have what appears to be the best crop yet. The weather has a lot to do with it, but so do the irrigation canals, dikes, and reservoirs we have built.
