what type of farm is rice grown on
Rice. Rice, the nation's major crop, was grown by about threequarters of all farm households in the early 1980s. Two main types were cultivated: dry, or upland, rice, grown predominantly in the North and Northeast; and wet rice, grown in irrigated fields throughout the central plain and in the South.
How to Grow Rice. There are different types of rice to consider: paddy rice, deep-water rice, rain-fed lowland rice and upland rice. Paddy rice growth is controlled by the farmer, whereas deep-water rice grows near river and other water banks and depends largely on the weather.
