What should I do if the rice germinates?

Early rice, late rice or single night, this often happens in the era of artificial harvesting. Due to manual harvesting, all the rice stalks are picked home by shoulders for threshing. In order to reduce the weight, we have to cut the rice stalks and put them on the dam in the field to dry. And early rice harvesting means grasping harvest, grasping sowing and grasping season. Sometimes, after cutting the grain, put it on the dam or somewhere to bask in the sun, and then pull out the seeds and plant them in the field. However, the weather is not beautiful, and God does not sympathize with the peasants' hard work. Sometimes it rains suddenly or even continuously. When it rains continuously, farmers can't take it home, and bitterness germinates before threshing.

Some rice, for some reasons, fell into the ground, just in case of good rain, and could not discharge the accumulated water in the ground at all. These fallen rice have sprouted deep before harvesting.

What should I do if the rice germinates? In the previous case, we did this:

1. When the rice lodging in the uncut fields, we should be prepared for rainy weather, and ditch the low-lying fields with abundant water resources and deep mud feet in advance. Clear several ditches in the middle of the field, so that even if it rains, there will be no water in the field, which can greatly reduce the germination rate of rice.

2. Separate the germinated rice. Rice with deep buds can be used as feed for poultry and concentrate for pigs. For those rice without deep buds or just broken breasts, if it is not long, it can still be used as food in sunny weather. When there is a shortage of food, the rice with deep buds is eaten as rice, and farmers are unwilling to use it for other purposes.

3. It is reported that germinated rice is rich in dietary fiber, aminobutyric acid and other nutrients that germinated rice does not have after activation, transformation, recombination and proliferation, and it can also be eaten. I have eaten it myself, and the rice cake made of stone-ground germinated rice is very sweet. Now that I think of that taste, I feel particularly delicious. Of course, that was in the era of food shortage, and there is no need to do that now.

4. If there is a lot of germinated rice, there is now a grain processing factory, which can dry the rice in rainy days. You can go there to dry the rice and minimize the losses caused by it.
