Castor River Farms

Season 4 Episode 405 | 26m 46s

Rice is one of the most widely cultivated crops in the world, and most is grown using a massive amount of water. At Castor River Farms, they sow the rice directly into the soil and focus on regenerative practices to care for that soil above all else. No tilling, no burning, no flooding, no chemicals and cover crops are key to this unique farm’s approach.
