Guns, Germs, Steel Presentation

Today during class we got into groups and write or take notes on a topic that we got to choose. My group had second pick and we picked food topic. The food topic we had to write about wheat, rice, corn, and sorghum. Since we had 4 people in our group, we decided that each one of us write about one type of food. I wrote about rice.

Here is the notes:
Rice was believed to be domesticated about teen thousand years ago in China. Rice grows to around 4ft and thrives in submerged land in the coastal pains, tidal deltas and river basins of tropical, semitropical, and temperate parts of the world. When rice seedlings are 25 to 50 days old, they are transplanted to a paddy that has been enclosed and submerged under 2 to 4 inches of water. The water has to remain in the field throughout the growing season. Rice's importance has spread beyond Asia. Rice has become an essential element of a successful agricultural package around the world.
