Day 5 of our wild rice harvest went well. It was our final day to get out and gather rice for this years effort. We ended up with 12 bags loaded in the pickup to bring to the processor. As they said in the Dumb and Dumber movie, “We did it Harry.” We had to call it a season because we ran out of Advil. Lol.
Both Brenda and I enjoy the wild rice harvest. It is really an adventure every time we go. We have different locations that we go where we see different kinds of wildlife. Other places we go that remind us of the first years that we started ricing. Some places where there are other ricers and other places where we are surprised to see another ricer. It’s one more reason to get out in nature and enjoy the outdoors. We will post one more time referencing this years wild rice harvest. It will show you how much finished rice we get from the 12 bags of unfinished rice. Thanks for watching. Lastly, come see us at the Park Rapids Farmers Market on Saturday. It opens at 9:00, ends at 1:00. It’s the last Market of the season.
