As a rice farmer I've never really considered: how much rice can one plant produce.

I suppose it's the scale of our rice farm that has me calculating in acres rather than

individual rice plants.

I know that, on average, we yield 10,000 lbs. of rice per acre.

But how much does a single rice plant yield?

Never thought about it until viewer, Steve T commented on Episode 75, titled "Dissecting

a Rice Plant in Search of its Head" with this question:

"How Many Kernels of rice does the average rice plant produce?"

Well Steve, it's a great question and we're going to find out!

And how we're going to find out is simply by pulling a rice plant and counting the rice

that it's producing.

You see each rice plant produces a seed head, as seen here, and each seed head is comprised

of several spikelets or blooms that are forming rice as we know it.

It's just fascinating, to me, that just one...oops.

That just one of these kernels of rice, or rice seeds, was planted in the spring and

now, at the end of summer, has produced this plant and therefore all these additional seeds

for our consumption or for next year's crop.

But before we find the final number of how much rice this plant is producing I should

mention that a number of factors determine this:

the variety of the rice, the overall health of the plant, as dictated by the level of

fertilization, weather patterns, soil type and ah hum, the farmer.

I should mention that this variety is Calrose medium grain m105.

Now, as I count this rice I thought rather than you just listening to me count 1,2,3

monotonously that I would represent each kernel of rice as a step in which it took to grow

this rice plant.

For example if there were only 10 kernels of rice than I'm going to include 10 farming

operations required to grow the plant, representing each kernel.

You'll see what I mean.

But first let's head into the shop.

Here we are.

Here's the rice plant.

Just let me remove the kernels for easier counting.

Let's move this screen to the top right and add a counter.

Finally let's add our first operation of farming a new crop of rice, which as I explained,

will represent the first rice kernel in our count.

Ready...go!

Alright!

51 kernels of rice, or seeds, that this plant produced.

I can't call it the average for this variety or the average for this field.

I would need to count several more individual rice plants to get that figure and I just

don't have time.

51 grains of rice is just how much this one plant produced but it gives us a good idea

of an answer to Steve's question.

And in those quick scenes we ended our farming operation and crop progress right here at

the plant being pulled.

Again, every kernel I counted was represented in a scene depicting the work that it took

to get this plant to this stage.

By the way, all of those scenes are from past episodes of Rice Farming TV so if you'd

like to know more about what was happening in a particular scene comment down below and

I'll link you to the specific episode.

Well guys what did you think?

Expecting more or less out of the production of these rice plants?

I want to thank Steve for the great question and encourage you guys to keep on asking.

I try to get to as many comments and questions as possible.

Thanks for watching guys.

Give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this episode and take care!

How Many John McCain Children Served in the Military? | Heavy.com

Three of John McCain's seven children have served in the U.S.

military, continuing a storied family tradition that dates back generations.

Indeed, three of McCain's four sons have served in the Armed Forces.

Jimmy McCain served his country in Iraq and Afghanistan for both the U.S.

Marines and the Army.

Doug McCain was a Navy pilot, and Jack McCain has served as a Navy pilot.

John McCain tried to keep his children's military service relatively quiet over the years, although his wife, Cindy McCain, often recognizes her children's service on social media.

Jimmy and Jack (also known as John) McCain are John McCain's children with his second wife, Cindy, a brewery distributor heiress.

McCain, who died at age 81 of brain cancer, also had three children with his first wife, Cindy Shepp McCain, including Doug, whom he adopted.

Jimmy and Jack McCain wore military uniforms during their father's memorial services.

McCain Tried to Keep His Son Jimmy's Deployment to Iraq Private.

One reason John McCain hadn't talked much about his children's military service before he died: He was apparently worried it could make them a target due to his own prominence.

However, when news leaked out in 2008 that his son Jimmy was serving in Iraq, he did express his pride.

When he went to Iraq, Jimmy McCain was only 19-years-old.

At the time, his dad had made his support for the war in Iraq a centerpiece of his presidential campaign.

According to The Independent, McCain even managed to keep his son's presence in Iraq quiet when he flew overseas to have dinner with the troops.

"We really never talk about our sons.

We have two sons in the military but we never talk about it, if that's all right.

I am so proud of both of them," John McCain told Fox News of Jimmy and his brother, Jack.

John McCain expressed pride in Jimmy even as the deployment worried him at the time.

"I'm obviously very proud of my son," the elder McCain told Time, "but also understandably a little nervous.

At the time Jimmy McCain enlisted in the U.S.

Marines, Cindy McCain had to sign consent forms for his medical examination, according to The Independent.

His mother wrote that he served in the Army after leaving the Marines.

Jack & Doug McCain Also Served in the U.S.

Military, Continuing the Family Tradition.

Doug McCain is McCain's oldest son.

The late senator adopted Doug and his brother, Andrew, when he married their mother, Carol Shepp McCain, his first wife.

Douglas McCain served as a U.S.

Navy pilot.

He now works as a pilot for American Airlines.

Jack McCain, McCain's other son with Cindy McCain, his second wife, attended the U.S.

Naval Academy in Annapolis.

He became a Navy helicopter pilot.

McCain's own father was a prominent Admiral in the U.S.

military.

According to Biography.com, "The son of a decorated Navy admiral, John McCain was born at the Coco Solo Naval Station in Panama on August 29, 1936.

He enrolled at the U.S.

Naval Academy and was dispatched to Vietnam, where he was tortured as a prisoner of war between 1967 and 1973.".

He was born John Sidney McCain III, "the second of three children born to naval officer John S.

McCain Jr.

and his wife, Roberta." It was a family with a long legacy of military service.

"Both McCain's father and paternal grandfather, John S.

McCain Sr., were four-star admirals, with John Jr.

rising to command U.S.

naval forces in the Pacific," Biography.com reported.

How many Teeth do I have to Treat to get my Perfect Smile? - Dr. Vicky Ho - Duration: 1:47.

Hi, this is Dr. Vicky from Smile Design Studio. Patients always

ask me how many teeth do I need to get

done to get my perfect smile.

Well, that depends greatly on what needs

to be changed in the smile.

And also, it depends greatly on how many teeth

they show in their smile.

Some people have very narrow openings and thus only show a few teeth

whereas others have really wide openings

and they show everything from front to back.

So it depends on the changes that they

want to achieve if they want to reduce a gummy smile.

Then if the gums go all the way to the back then

they'll have a lot more teeth that they'll need to do.

Or if they need to change the proportions or the sizes

we don't want to find that we do only a partial smile which

doesn't then blend with the rest of the back.

So it's very, very important to see

what the patient shows as to what they want to achieve

and how much difference between their natural teeth

and their final smile

they want to achieve. The greater the difference the more teeth

you've got to do.

However, if we only need to do one because one

tooth is damage.

We can do that

and match it perfectly as well.

So there is not a set number of teeth that you have to do.

It just depends on the result that you want.

And ultimately what you need to do to get that.

And we'll sit down at the Smile Design process

and talk about all of that together.
