Ever heard of 'double cropping' versus 'multicropping'? Double cropping involves growing two commodities in the same year consecutively, while multicropping entails growing them simultaneously. Recently, I had the opportunity to witness a research field where koi fish and rice were multicropped together. In this approach, both the fish and rice serve as revenue streams. Additionally, the fish play a crucial role in adding nitrogen to the soil, controlling weeds, and potentially managing harmful insects. It’s by no means a new concept but not one widely used in the U.S. It was a lot of fun to watch the harvest in Arkansas. #Agriculture #Sustainability #Rice
