Rice is a kind of grass. There are more than seven kinds of rice. Most kinds are water
plants. Farmers grow rice in many countries even in the southern part of the United States and
in Eastern Australia. No one really knows where rice comes from. Some scientists think it
started to grow in two places. They think that one kind of rice grew in Southern Asia thousands
of years ago. Someone in China wrote about it almost five thousand years ago. Another kind
probably grew in West Africa. Other scientists think rice came from India, and India travelers
took it to other parts of the world. There are two main ways to grow rice. Upland rice grows in
dry soil. Most rice grows in wet soil. People in many countries do all of the work by hand. This
is the same way farmers worked hundreds of years ago. Some countries now use machines on
their rice farm. The farmers all use fertilizer. Some insects are enemies of rice. Farmers poison
them.
