September was designated National Rice Month in America by George W. Bush in 1991. Rice is the second-highest grain produced worldwide after corn. Nearly 85 percent of rice consumed in the U.S. is grown domestically in Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas. Arkansas is home to 2,300 rice farms that contribute $6 billion annually to our state’s economy.
