Yes, I have seen the Budweiser Rice Paddies in both LA and Arkansas. 
This is not what I envision for here, not even close..I am thinking of a 
small paddy in a low lying area, using a swimming pool(above ground 
metal sided type) to create a wetland, using a rainwater collection 
tank(300 ga) to fill the paddy.  Of course, draining is easy.
That is of course, for wetland rice, which is what is grown in the US.

Dry land rice intrigues me, but I need to find out more about it.
