Really? What research have you done on the subject?

If your search "grass fed cow milk Inner Earth Beings kill" is
any indication, you really need to work on your search strings.

The one allowed to dry. One supports frogs, the other doesn't.

Frogs migrate - a fact that seems to have escaped you in the past.

No mention of rice fields there. Why aren't there?

Nope. Not one link on page 1 is even remotely relevant.

We're looking for "green waterfalls" of frogs in organic Texan
rice fields. So far, you cannot tell us where these alleged frogs
come from, nor can you provide any supporting evidence for
they're presence in the alleged numbers, or of a frog massacre.
