OK Bev, I think you and I should be the rice growing

Now I need to find out when to plant, what kind of rice, 
and where to get the grain seed. I suppose a bag of brown 
rice from the supermarket won't do, although I remember 
Bill saying he planted his fava beans right from the 
health food store bag.
