What's Happening:
- As part of the Pingtung Tropical Agriculture Expo in Taiwan Disney is teaming up to create rice fields with some of the most iconic Disney characters representing the core five Disney+ brands.
Facts About These Rice Field Designs:
- There were almost 468,000 rice plants used throughout the field, with each one being planted 24 cm apart for proper growth. There was GPS technology used to geo-position each rice plant.
- The entire field stretched across almost five acres of land, which is the equivalent of nearly three soccer fields.
- The design took a total of eight months to grow, and each seedling was initially green.
- It wasn't until 35 days after being planted that they began to change colors, and 120 days after planting, they were ready for harvesting.
- At the end of the exhibition in February, the rice used as part of the display was given away to visitors.
