I like your topic, I studied foods and nutrition with my Masters in that discipline, naturally I have an interest in any subject dealing with rice production. I was wondering recently if New Orleans Louisiana couldn't use some expertise in developing Rice Terraces. The areas are so completely washed out, would it be a good investment for someone to buy land and build Terraces for the production of Rice?
