Wild Rice Cultivation Insights

The video discusses the growth of wild rice since 2013, highlighting challenges such as nutrient deficiency and thick seeding. A lesson is learned from a sod piece that improved rice growth. Insights from permaculture suggest potential high yields. Observations on transplanted rice and barrel planting show varied growth. The video concludes with plans to develop wild rice further.
