You may benefit from the article as well. Good luck! https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/rice-farming-with-ducks-aigamo

Today I was telling my husband that New England has become a surprising hot-spot for rice-growing. It makes sense that the tips and tricks used in traditional rice-cultivation would catch on among the holistic farmers there. Bravo! This is encouraging, thanks so much for sharing.
