Well here in Arkansas they are rationing rice. We can only buy 4 bags of rice at sam's clubs and several other stores. They say it is because of a rice shortage. The high price of gas, fertilizer and other things are playing a role in this.

Well I just read the Daily News and I am pretty scared about this. So far in the local supermarkets they have not done this but they will probably start raising prices and everything. My mother said she might go and stock up before that happens.

Yeah I heard that they are only allowing each household to only buy four bags of rice. My mother uses the RiceLand too and especially the Jasmine one.
