With short grain/Japanese rice you do it to wash out the starch, but is it needed for long grain or basmati?

Entirely depends on how sticky you want your rice to be. he more starch left the more sticky it will be.

Yes, though rinsing multiple times, soaking, and then drying aren't necessary like with sticky rice.

You don't have to use your fingers, vigorously swirl it in your cooking pot and it should only take around 6 drains to get it clear. Soak for an hour or so, drain and let dry before reintroducing the amount of water to boil. Bring up to a boil, cover, lower heat to a simmer and allow to cook for about 10 minutes. Take off of the heat and cover the lid with a towel and let sit for 10-20 minutes. Perfect sticky rice.

Adjacent fields... the main crop is medium grain rice. The coops pay the 2500 member corporate farms to produce market demand goods, the mills are set up for medium grain, marketing overseas, etc.

The expensive rice doesn’t develop from superiority in all cases, it’s just if you decide to grow forbidden rice in your paddy, you will need to find a contract Miller that can proceed your snowflake crop, because the coop is running medium grain (Calrose). So going against the grain drives up costs which is passed on to the consumer. Focusing on the grain size or “rare” variety of white rice that was harvested by the same Mexican guy driving the same harvester, loading it on to the same bank out wagon, and loaded into the same green trailers is silly and shows just how uneducated consumers are.

(At least with international rice, premium rice comes from different soils, waters, temp, altitude, or remoteness).
