Got rice?

COLUSA, Calif. — The Sacramento River Valley is one of the top producers of rice. Half of the crop is exported to Japan and Korea and much of the sushi rice eaten in the United States is grown here. 

But according to the California Rice Commission, of the 500,000 acres normally produced, only 250,000 will be harvested this year.
