Book excerpt: Excerpt from Artificial Drying of Rice on the Farm If rice is cut at the proper stage of maturity with the binder, is properly shocked, and no unfavorable weather occurs at harvest time, the binder method can usually be depended upon to produce rough rice of good quality. But in the rice-producing areas of the South there is a loss in the field through shattering in the handling of the bundles from the time they are dropped from the binder until they are placed in the threshing machine, and it is difficult to obtain rough rice of high quality and of good condition if the weather is unfavorable during the harvest, or during the time the grain is in the shocks.
