"AshTABula" or "AshtaBUla" I'd like to know. What about the one in northeast Ohio? Any connection?--Wetman (talk) 19:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's almost certainly an error in the text. AFAIK, rice was grown along the S. Carolina coast, not in the uplands, so this plantation could not have set a world record. I wonder if the record was set by the same family's coastal rice plantations? See the book "Slaves in the Family" by Edward Ball for information about rice plantations in the Charleston area.
