Though Koshihikari is difficult to grow, it intrigued me that where this variety is from originally is latitude 39 in Japan, the Sacramento Valley is similarly latitude 39.

It was important to be organic, use less water with drill seeding, and have the best mill possible with 85% solar energy, and only have to travel from our “backyard” saving a lot of fuel.
