Thinking about planting rice in the swamp for next season. Has anyone done it? Good or bad results?

I tried it two years ago. Ordered wild rice, water celery, and Sago pond weed from Ketner's. Sago did great but took two years to really spread, water celery not too good, and wild rice not at all. I did what I was told in the instructions but it just did not work. Did have a friend that tried commercial rice in a wet area that usually floods in the fall. It worked ok but it required water control.Thinking about planting rice in the swamp for next season. Has anyone done it? Good or bad results? opot from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk
Just plant some corn about 3 or 4 days before opening day and you'll do great!!
Works better if you spread it out the 3 or 4 weeks before season.
I have planted a great amount of rice in the past. Like Jap Millet, is not a long lasting food source. North Eastern NC is also too far north for great results. Another good option is Banana Water Liley. PM me and I will send you some pictures of what water lily looks like this time of year and how much fowl it can hold.

ThanksBelow is something I copied from another forum on planting rice. Very good. Info.
“Download a copy of the Rice Handbook from the University of Arkansas Ag Extension website and study up on rice culture. You can grow rice if you learn how it is done commercially and if you have the appropriate place and resources. Rice is a heavy nitrogen user. Just broadcasting it and walking away is not likely to work very well. Growing rice successfully typically requires a lot of inputs (fertilizer, herbicides, water) at the right times, but that doesn't mean that you can't do it without fancy equipment.”
