Thailand Farmer or Agricultural worker standing in water planting rice in fields, Northern Chiang Mai, Asia.
Rice is cultivated differently than other grains because it is a semi-aquatic plant that requires consistent irrigation all season to grow. Heavy clay and silt loam soils that are often ill-suited to other crops retain water very well, making them perfect for rice.
