Although development in some areas may be further along, ricers should generally expect a later harvest than usual for the area. Some good crops can be found coming up, and should provide harvest opportunities if they properly mature. The 1854 Treaty Authority may be interested in buying rice from the Vermilion River this year. We need the rice for seeding purposes, so it should be acquired immediately after harvest (or stored in water). Look for us at the landing, or contact Darren Vogt (218-722-8907) if you are interested in selling some rice. |
