Out of curiosity, what's the issue with growing rice in Texas? Is it that it's not suitable for that climate or something else?

Basically, yeah. Growing rice requires a great deal of water, and the parts of Texas rice is being grown in don't naturally have that much surface water. It's only economically viable because they have artificially cheap water.

A lot of bad things human do are know to be bad. Is just that humans refuse to accept it.
