In 1987, the first Louisiana Rice Production Handbook was published with the intent of putting into one volume a comprehensive reference to all aspects of rice production in Louisiana. Revised in 1999 and again in 2014,
this edition has been updated with new information, better photographs, and the latest research findings.
This publication is a product of the cumulative efforts of numerous scientists with the Louisiana State University (LSU) Agricultural Center at the Rice Research Station in Crowley and from the main campus in Baton Rouge.
