摘要：

As the Mississippi River meandered through several southern states over tens of thousands of years, it left a valuable layer of fertile soil in its wake. This low-lying floodplain and the flat coastal prairies of Louisiana and Texas are now home to most of the rice farms in the United States. Louisiana is the nation’s third-largest producer of the crop, after Arkansas and California. The state’s warm climate, abundant water, and water-retaining clay soils are well-suited for growing rice. Jefferson Davis and Acadia parishes in southwest Louisiana produce the most rice in the state, according to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
