 I'm Jared Hartke, rice extension agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. I've just given a quick update on the 2022 season as we see it so far. It's been yet another in a series of struggles getting planted with another very wet spring that we've fought our way through. Really we were tracking well behind in terms of planting progress all the way through the end of April. And then finally we started to get some strings of dry weather, not anything big at once, but getting some actual field days and suddenly found ourselves from being very far behind and potentially record behind at one point really to what turned out to look more like a middle of the road planting progress once it was all said and done, but still the vast majority of our rice crop planted into May. In an even numbered year like this one, we've talked about this a lot through the spring and the winter, we would normally expect to see 1.4, 1.5 million acres of rice. We do an annual kind of up-down rotation, 1.1 or so million acres in an odd numbered year, 1.4 plus in an even numbered year. So we're expected to be around 1.1 million acres this year. That doesn't sound like much of a decline from last year's 1.2 million until you look at it through the lens of where we normally rotate to that much higher number. So as far as the state is concerned and the state's rice industry is concerned, it's a much bigger reduction than it looks like on paper, one year to the next. So that part's going to be concerning for the industry this year and certainly what happens going into next year. But really even beyond that, certainly a huge focus through this year has been input costs and where we're on fertilizer, specifically urea, phosphate, potash, those and really what that means for profitability. Our rice prices have increased this year like those of other commodities, however they haven't increased at the same rate for rice that they have for the other. So we still have very much an uphill battle this year in terms of reaching a profit. So even very good yields this year could still be a little bit of a struggle on the rice side if something doesn't continue to further improve. The bigger issue now is going to turn toward water and availability with the amount of heat and lack of rainfall we've now had for weeks at this point. Now that we can stop griping about getting too much rain, now we haven't had it in forever and there's still not really any in the extended forecast for quite some time. So obviously trying to irrigate rice but also even starting very early on irrigating other crops. Putting quite a strain on our overall management at this point and that's kind of a down-the-road concern of how we'll be able to keep up as this season progresses. Normally by around this time we would say that we largely have the crop laid by as in we're flooded, we're sprayed up, we're pretty clean and we're more focused on you know keeping this crop irrigated and you know trying to make our way to harvest primarily but we are still working on a lot of those cleanup applications and trying to get a fair amount of rice to flood and again laid by a lot later. Looks like it's going to run all the way up into July for that and technically there are still a few rice fields being planted and even been planted in the last week or so. Guys still playing catch up from the early season delays doing all they can to get in some of their last acres now.
