Field day focuses on Kennedy's Mer Rouge mill
Farmers at an LSU AgCenter rice and soybean field day July 13 heard that a new rice mill being built near Mer Rouge could be open for business by early next year.
Meryl Kennedy, of Kennedy Rice Dryers in Mer Rouge, said the mill will have the capacity for handling 120 million pounds of rice per year, and it could operate around the clock, seven days a week.
Work on the foundation is almost ready to start, she said, and the project could be finished by Dec. 31. “
We really need for this building to be completed by then,” Kennedy said.
With that timetable, the mill would be operational by the first quarter of 2012 and start buying rice in February or March. She said the mill will buy farm-stored rice and rice from commercial dryers.
“This is a great big deal for rice production in north Louisiana,” said farmer John Owen of Richland Parish, chairman of the Northeast Louisiana Rice Growers Association.
The mill could buy as much as 40 percent of the rice grown in north Louisiana and southeast Arkansas, he said.
Also at the field day, LSU AgCenter entomologist Natalie Hummel said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency granted provisional approval for the pesticide Dinotefuran, developed by Mitsui Chemicals, for stink bug control on rice.
“It’s probably going to be used most in this part of the state,” Hummel said. The EPA granted approval last year for Texas rice growers.
The chemical has a longer residual effect than pyrethroids, she said. Data on its effectiveness will be needed to get Section 18 approval for next year.
Barnyardgrass and sprangletop are the two biggest weed problems for rice in north Louisiana, said LSU AgCenter weed scientist Bill Williams. He warned farmers that the herbicide Clincher cannot be mixed with other chemicals.
The Valent chemical League has shown effectiveness against sesbania, Texasweed and dayflower with long residual capability, Williams said. It costs approximately $16 an acre at the 4-ounce rate. Weather is the main culprit in numerous cases of partially filled panicles, said LSU AgCenter rice specialist Johnny Saichuk. No diseases or insect problems can be found, but the heat could be interfering with the growth process.
