*yawns* will there ever be an asia-worker video that is not fast forward?

I’ve never planted rice but my back still thanks you.

butthurtnevergetsbetter
You grow seedlings in a nursery because not all of them do well. So you make too damn many and select the best ones to put in the field.
Pyrolillycherry
My knees always hurt for the farmers squatting in fields for hours. Also cool post thanks.
Davredz
Don’t know why but the machine reminded me of the reload scene in the 3rd matrix film
StandWithUkraine
Fun fact, China imports rice because their land contain pollution like heavy metals from the miming industry.
rightinthedink
Damn that Marcel Marceau and his earth poisoning ways…
Pedrinius
Rice in Italy is going to die this year. No water. So fucked up
DeSupotsu
There’s a part of me that wishes I got to spend a day reloading the rice planting machine
NotADutchman
Yes, but can they be yeeted instead?
oilyanaldischarge
With a precision catapult, or expelled from a machine like a frisbee?
Whatever works best. My money is on precision catapult.
TurdSlynger
How neat is that!
TBRichard
And just like that, Hair Plug for Men realized there was a faster way to do things.

It took me a Minute, but I realized that I've never seen rice outside of a package.
samanthadlcruz
if you saw "Avengers EndGame" Thanos 'retired' & got his head chopped off in a huge rice field - filmed at Banaue Rice Terraces
billstranger
Something Something "Minute Rice" joke.

Oh, Uncle Ben, you jokester, you’ll get it right eventually!!!

this is brilliant engineering. it looks like that's a repurposed jet ski. it seems like a very elegant low-cost solution
somnif
My first thought was snowmobile, how very bizarre.
MATSUEMADNESS
Nope, they're purpose built for solely this job. Cost a decent amount and heard they are very finicky, source; live in japan
DaffydeDick
That machine prevented a lot of achy breaky backs
BabyBumbleBee3
One day, long ago, someone looked at that grain and wondered what would happen if we boiled it.
PowerPedant
Trivia: Rice does not need standing water, but tolerates it - which most undesired plants ("weeds") do not.
gsmdo
Excellent
Dracology
It's like a sewing machine for plants
IdiotSavantTinker
I wonder how many people that planter machine frees up? That thing is cool.
scuba7jb
Is this actual speed?? If feels slightly too fast
sneakypoo
It's sped up, but still pretty damn fast: https://youtu.be/LKh6RIoX6yQ?t=245

Rice planters "damn man... I'm outta a job"
ilasid
Saves their backs though
OddSam93
How many rice will one "plants" produce?
iwasmydogsbestfriend
Umm it's rice'sis.*
Google says 70-100 grains
MissAgony
Seems like so little
TheLazyLibrarian
Which is about half a bowl. Also, Google says about 14 seeds or 7 bowls of rice planted per sq foot. So an acre of harvest = ~21,780 bowls.
Scratch that. It's actually 152,460 bowls per acre. So about 51 thousands acres can feed everyone on earth one bowl of rice each.
For reference, we can feed all ~8 billion people on Earth appx. 50 bowls of rice per day if we turn all of US farmland into rice fields.
HDCerberus
That sounds great in theory, but I'm not sure I could eat fifty bowls of rice a day.
Dat do make a difference!

Jopler420
fuck the rice, tell me more about that sweet planter machine!
deathsausage
It's zooming along ?
also, please dont fuck the rice
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
google a paperpot transplanter, also very cool but more affordable and suitable for more species of plant
Malikhi
That's the rice-inator 3000 complete with optional canopy and patented 'never-fukin-stuck' special grippy wheels
roflipop
It comes with three patented noacloverating swagwangles to optimize tertiary proclusive agromatiliphation at high speeds.
SebastianCrab
Right?! I love agricultural machines that look like goblins made them.
Almost looks like it was built around like a snowmobile chassis or something.
Hexidimentional
i'm gonna say they lifted a high end atv with a power attachment hookup swapped the wheels for superthins, and custom built the apparatus
Schmerbie
This shit is how we feed 7.5 BILLION people
DudaciousJustDudacious
As Alphaville might say, made in Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKh6RIoX6yQ
MathDebater
thank you for this!
FunctioningWorkaholic
It plants rice.
Quesadildos
Fun fact: Rice doesn't actually need a flooded field to grow but it's the best way to keep weeds and pests at bay
Munchman347
Like cranberries are grown in dry fields. They only flood them to make harvesting the floating berries easier...
also makes harvesting the spiders easier!
DavidBrooker
Fun fact: Three species of grass account for over 40% of all dietary energy consumed on Earth.
SirWhiskersThe3rd
The more I learn; the more powerful I become!
wherethehorriblethingsare
If you add one more type of grass you also account for 60% of Doritos.
inthrees
He already said OOOooooh I get it.
LordHosk
Another fun fact. Rice doesn't have to grow in swampy patties, it naturally grows in fields like wheat. Water acts as pest/weed control.
Natdictit
And allow other things to be grown like fish, and crawfish
ToxicIndigoKittyGold

Fact: the country of Ukraine is responsible for 10% of all calories consumed in earth. This is why there will be serious famine.
By humans or in totality?
ForceAwakenWasLame
By OPs mom
Snooj
I'm guessing humans because arthropods make up half the biomass on Earth and they don't eat grass.
theetomatobaron
I know another type of grass that’s more fun though
Gas, Grass or Ass?

bluegrass? ?
Canada has a crazy good bluegrass culture
I didn't know they were Canadian so I got curious and TIL there's even Norwegian and Czech bluegrass. So thanks!
The Norwegian stuff is pretty fierce
TZO2k15
Fun fact: At least one other of the species is consumed without dietary concerns! :D
Many peope use this type and call it Imgur time.
GanjaPlanet
Olestra called and wants your name back.
Brilliant! I usually surf Imgur stoned!
Ha! Same.
LoL, I'm coming down, and will get re-baked in an hour or so! Delta 8/9 is great for us non-legal states!
(Rice, wheat and corn)
Pfffftit
Larry curly and moe
afsdpckapjadfkasef
Today I learned corn is grass
Flowerlady0
We should actively add bamboo
LordFancypantsicus
So Chex Mix is a balanced meal, right? Y'all heard it.
Septcanmat
I’m assuming that doesn’t include downstream numbers either - like if a cow eats grass and then a person eats the cow.
Is corn actually a grass though? I mean I'm not a grass scientist so idk, just wouldn't have been my first guess.
etcnotect
Bamboo is also a grass, if that makes it more believable for you
Tojeaux
Corn or the progenitor of it, was a type of grass that got grotesquely domesticated into what we know as corn today
UnrustleYerJimmies
Why grotesque?
[deleted]
Cucumberclouds
It’s cown!
It is indeed, in the sorghum tribe. The entire grass family (latin name Gramineae) supports over half of all human caloric intake.
Bossvoss
Damn it Dave! Spoilers! I wanted to guess! That’s pretty frickin neato though!

And malt? I drink most of my calories! ?
Malting can be applied to any cereal grain, but barley, which is the most common malt, is the fourth-most produced cereal grain.
MoreButterForMyHam
More fun facts from Dave!
RaspK
What we typically refer to as malt is malted barley.
JaceTiger
I prefer my barley unmalted, in a soup, and with beef
Yep. Our farm supplied barley back in the day.
