Louisiana ranks 3rd or 4th in rice production in the US. These are rice fields along I-10.
When trucks deliever rice, the stop on the pad to the left and get weighed, then they drop their rice into the hopper on the bottom right.
This is the oldest operating rice mill in the U.S. and is on the National Historic Register
These are some of the main products of the Konriko mill. They also sell a number of specialty products.
Although it looks old, the mill still uses this machine to fill bags with rice products.
On the left is the original rice mill built in 1912. The Country Store on the right is much newer (1978 I think).
While the machines in the mill are fairly old, they are still in use.
