No 278006, Staff Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: U.S. farms growing rice varied considerably among seven rice-growing regions, according to the 1984 Farm Costs and Returns Survey. This report summarizes and compare the production practices and costs of production of U.S. rice farms. Costs per acre of rice were greatest in California and on the Lower Co st of Texas. Rice growers in Northeast Arkansas and the Mississippi River Delta received the most favorable returns from rice. Returns were least favorable on the Lower Coast of Texas.
