CROWLEY, La. â Short-grain rice developed by the LSU AgCenter has been planted for a New Orleans company to make sake, a traditional Japanese beverage that is becoming more popular in the U.S.
The Pirogue variety was planted on 31 acres at the H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station on April 6 by Rick Zaunbrecher, the stationâs foundation seed manager.
After harvest in August, the rice will be sold to Wetlands Sake, and the field of remaining stubble will be used for crawfish.
