I was not going to go into the 11 different grading scales @Prakhonchai Nick. Hmm interesting prices you have seen displayed. Nobody will sell at those prices. They are having a laugh at the desperately poor. Bastards! The price of production has doubled from last year.There is a rice mill on the road between PKC and Buriram which I pass regularly, and which displays the buying price. For the past few months it has been around 16bt/kg. Last week, with the new rice it was down to 11.50bt.. Much depends of course on the quality and how dry the rice is. In every village rice is currently laid out every day on the roads to dry in the sun
Pats two brothers only put in enough rice for the family plus seed this year as, fertiliser prices have over doubled.I was not going to go into the 11 different grading scales @Prakhonchai Nick.

About 12 rai. They bag the rice and say it is 40 kg per standard fill bag, and they're pretty careful about uniform fill. I didn't weigh any to check. Wow, that's 100,000 THB at most, a pretty meager ROI.I spoke with my father in law yesterday and he told me that A grade was going for 20 Baht/kg It all scales down from there. Can I ask how many Rai of Paddy supplied 5,000 kg.
I just want to know what yeild you got. Bye the way, how did you work out the weight?
The numbers you give @Mel Malinowski are excessive. Yield for 12 Rai . In my opinion my area at best you can expect is 8 fertiliser bags per Rai.About 12 rai.

I've always considered individual planting to be preferable to scattering ones seed.............Mind you if all 12 Rai was planted out by individual plant, a yeild approaching just over 4000 kg is possible. But seed scatter method will yield what I described earlier.
