Abstrakt: The number of days available to plant rice in Arkansas during the planting season depends on spring weather conditions every year. This paper examines the number of acres planted per fieldwork day in Arkansas, the number of fieldwork days available for planting the entire rice crop in Arkansas, and the historical distribution of suitable fieldwork days per week for the optimal rice planting window in Arkansas using Arkansas Crop Progress and Condition Report data from 1981 to 2022. The average maximum acres planted per suitable fieldwork day for the Arkansas rice crop is 58,926 acres, and the average minimum number of suitable fieldwork days required to plant the entire Arkansas rice crop is 23 days. The average number of fieldwork days per week for Arkansas's optimum rice planting window (late March through the third week of May) is 4.5 days per week. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
