IL SL05 IL Seed Mixed With Lighter Rice Hulls- Bulk Filler Price Per 5# ($6/5#)

$6.00 / acre (9966.0acres available)

IL Seed Mixed With Lighter Rice Hulls- Bulk Filler Price Per 5# of Rice Hulls $6 per acre equals 5# of Rice hulls per acre mixed in with your seed mix. Rice Hulls are commonly used as a lighter bulking filler in native grass and wildflower mixtures to improve the seed flow and distribution through the seeding equipment like a fluffy native grass no-till drill or a larger PTO driven 3-point broadcaster with a true agitator inside the seed cone. For smaller broadcasters we would recommend a heavier bulk filler like Oats, Pelletized Ag Lime, or Cracked Corn. For bulking with Rice Hulls we recommend getting close to a total seeding weight of 10# to the acre (if your seed mix weighs 5# PLS per acre - you would want to add 5# of Rice Hulls per acre of seed ordered). You are ordering the total number of acres = 5 Pounds of bulk Rice Hulls you need for your entire seed order. If you need 5# of Rice Hulls per acre and you order 10 acres worth of seed then you would need to order a total of 10 acres 50# of bulk Rice Hulls and they will be mixed and bagged with all of your fluffy and hard seed when placed in the same order. 1/10/2026
