Hence the rice.
Well, that's half of it. The rice farmers double crop with these:

Now yer talkin'.
I got into a little spat with my brother on FB last night. He posted some meme about lawns that proclaimed we must socially stigmatize the idea of having a lawn. In other words, cancel lawns.
There is nowhere in our lives they wil not try to control.
Now, don't get me wrong, I have long thought lawns wasteful, certainly a waste of my time and resources. But social stigmatzation as a change agent? Please.

Mankind has been shaping nature to fit man’s needs since they first sharpened a stick as a spear, first planted a crop, built a shelter instead of a cave, etc...
By their logic we should stop farming, all mining, do away with all fossil fuels, solar farms, wind farms, hydro-electric dams, etc...

But, but...THE CARBON FOOTPRINT!!!!
It gets worse...that's a BX23s, meaning it's under 25hp(it's 23hp engine, less at the PTO). Under 25hp, tractors do not have to have a regen cycle. That means they are allowed to pollute more!
I didn't show one with the five foot belly mower, which does a fine job cutting large lawns. Just think...belly mower, front end loader, backhoe...Why, the possibilities to chug out a constant stream of diesel smoke are endless! How deliciously upsetting to the overwrought green crowd!

That's Kubota's best selling under 25hp rig. Compare it directly with a 1 series Deere.
Both are very good at what they do.

“What is a lawn but a statement of control over nature?” asks John Douglas Belshaw, a Canadian history professor at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C.
Um....exactly! Your point?

You know what else I control? 55 grains of full metal jacket going about 3250 feet per second.
Now get off my lawn!
