Variety of Rice and Its Characteristics


Farming is a very challenging profession. Some say it is a gamble, since there are so many factors that may affect the outcome of your farm. I know many farmers that fails on this profession, but I can pinpoint farmers who are successful also. So, what really needed to be successful in this field. Well, its a rule of life, to be successful you have to know everything about it, be industrious, and always ask the guidance from our Lord God. The first basic step to win this gamble is knowing the variety of rice and its characteristics. So take a look of the table shown below.
