In the United States, you find rice fields in Texas and Louisiana, but
you can also find some in Arkansas and California; we have rice fields
that are about 10 minutes away from our house.

Each field is surrounded by dirt levees to keep the water in, then the
water is pumped out. Here you see a rice field and in the second photo,
you can see the tops of crawfish traps. A flat boat comes along, empties
the trap, baits it, then puts the trap back, then the boat moves along
to the next trap.
