Very cool ideas,
I've read that neither rice nor ducks need a flooded field, or pond. I've
not grown rice, but read that you can grow it like corn with drip
tape. For this region, that may make more sense. Ducks have a lot going
for them: quieter than chickens, eat more insects and fewer plants, eggs
and the animals are more valuable in the marketplace, ducks don't scratch
the soil like chickens.
Anyone have thoughts/experience?
