IL Seed Mixed With Lighter Rice Hulls- Bulk Filler Price Per Pound ($2/1#)

$2.00 / bag (1827.0bags available)

$2 per Bag=Pound of Rice hulls 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 4# PLS per acre - you would want to add 6# of Rice Hulls per acre of seed ordered). You are ordering the total number of Bags=Pounds of bulk Rice Hulls you need for your entire seed order. If you need 6# of Rice Hulls per acre and you order 10 acres worth of seed then you would need to order a total of 60# of bulk Rice Hulls and they will be mixed and bagged with all of your seed when placed in the same order. 2/20/2025
