Rice is picky about where it grows. Only a few states have the climate and soil suitable for commercial rice production. In alphabetical order, they are Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas. Can you guess which state is the largest producer? (See answer below.) All of these states primarily grow long-grain rice, except California which produces primarily medium-grain rice. The latter is prized by consumers in Northeast Asia for its exceptional cooking and eating quality.
.The top rice-producing states? Arkansas ranks first, followed by California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Missouri. For more information, view our U.S. Rice Map.

Answer 2

looking at the climate where rice is normally grown (India, Southeast Asia), I think it needs humidity and lots of water to grow in. I think Connecticut is not humid enough for rice to grow naturally unless if it's a special type of rice and a controlled environment. Look at this web page:
