Missouri Rice Council Hosts Annual Field Day  Missouri Rice Research & Merchandising Council held its annual Field Day on Tuesday. Although field and weather conditions have producers in one of the busiest times of the year, 100+ people attended the event. The Field Day included tour stops focused on weed and insect management, row rice, rice variety trials, and more. The luncheon program included local, national, and international updates. Senator Jason Bean, local state senator and rice producer, gave greetings, along with Marcela Garcia, US Rice Producer Association President and CEO.
