Overview
Rice is a core part of agriculture in the Chico region and the surrounding northern Sacramento Valley. Fields west and south of Chico are supported by heavy clay soils and surface-water systems designed for flooded rice production. Rice farming follows a structured seasonal cycle that includes land leveling, flood establishment, planting, water management, and coordinated harvest operations. Weed control, water timing, and harvest logistics are central to successful production, making access to specialized equipment and experienced services essential throughout the season.
Agnomy gives Chico and Butte County rice farmers a smarter way to manage and coordinate ag services across orchards, field crops, and mixed operations. Instead of relying on word of mouth or chasing down availability, growers can request services, compare quotes, and book local providers who understand North State soils, irrigation districts, and seasonal timing. With built-in tools like an integrated calendar, job reporting, and real-time weather and soil insights, growers can track what’s scheduled, what’s been completed, and what’s coming next. By keeping service coordination and field activity in one place, Agnomy helps ensure orchard work, field operations, and harvest support stay aligned as conditions shift throughout the season.
