Three years into growing rice, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s how much there still is to learn. 🌾
This is our LongPing Nasiglat at 58 days after transplanting.
Wet-season rice farming has a way of keeping you humble. Every season is different. Weather changes, pest and disease pressure changes, water becomes unpredictable, and sometimes what worked before doesn’t work the same way the next time.
We’ve also been fortunate to work with caretakers who have spent many years in the field. A lot of what we know comes from their experience, from knowing the land, observing the crop, and recognizing things that you simply don’t learn from a book.
Over the past three years, we’ve tried to combine that experience with new practices, technologies, and ideas that we’ve been willing to test ourselves.
Some worked. Some didn’t. Some mistakes were expensive.
But little by little, we’ve learned what works better for our farm.
Kaya nakakatuwa makita ang improvement ngayon. Not because we think we’ve figured rice farming out, but because we know how much trial and error went into getting here.
And at 58 days, marami pang pwedeng mangyari bago anihan, especially during the wet season.
Farming will always have uncertainty. What we can do is keep learning, keep adapting, and hopefully become a little better every season.
Sa anihan pa rin ang final exam. 🌾
