do we really grow rice in California? (I may have reported this, but

Those of us who live in the Sierra foothills suffer the smoke from the
burning of the rice fields in the Sacramento Valley every summer.

The Nation in general suffered the smoke of the California rice

to destroy that  region's competitive rice economy.
