Abstract: The rapid adoption of new Southern developed semidwarf high yielding varieties is having tremendous impacts on all segments of the U.S. rice economy. This will tend to improve the position of rice growers in the South relative to producers in California, increase deficiency payments and rice exports, and benefit rice consumers due to lower rice prices.
