Over the course of many centuries, humans have domesticated and improved white rice, wheat, corn, and many other crops. It has only been in the last half of the twentieth century that wild rice started on the road to domestication. The challenges were great, but exciting, in the development of this newly cultivated crop. This remarkable story of the transformation of wild rice by growers, entrepreneurs, and scientists makes for compelling reading. Read this book with a nostalgic sense of history as well as seeing the story of how a new field crop was and can be developed.
