The field is then allowed to rest during the winter. The multitudes of waterfowl work the soil while feeding on the leftover rice kernels. Its a true symbiotic relationship between farming and nature. Straw incorporation techniques for Nutra-Farmed fields are the same as they are for organic fields. Storage In Conventional farming, a routine program of fumigating storage bins with chemical fumigants such as aluminum phosphine or methyl bromide may be used to keep the rice insect free.
Organic rice is kept in airtight bins.
A large air conditioner is used to keep the rice cool during warm weather. We constantly monitor the rice for moisture, temperature, freshness, milling quality, and insects. If only a few insects are found, we can remove them using a vacuum fan. If we need to treat for insects, we replace the natural air in the bin with carbon dioxide. Without the necessary oxygen, the insects cannot survive.
