Abstract

This paper examines the number of acres planted per fieldwork day and the number of fieldwork days available for planting the entire rice crop in Arkansas using Arkansas’s crop progress and condition report data from 1981 to 2022. The average maximum acres planted per suitable fieldwork day in Arkansas rice crop is 58,926, and the average minimum number of suitable fieldwork days required to plant the entire Arkansas rice crop is 23. The average number of weekly fieldwork days for Arkansas’s optimum rice planting window (late March through the third week of May) is 4.5 days.
