Any Asian or Indian supermarkets nearby Neil? They usually have rice in 20kg bags. Or go to Costco/Booker and get a few bags... A friendly "local" shop should be able to help out as they will have an account. Or even and Indian takeaway??
Just checked Costco and they are 21 quid for a 20kg bag. so your 1.25/kg isn't bad.
The Indian in Montgomery closed a couple of years ago.
We were warned about it by a few locals when we moved here. Apparently it was best avoided as the folks working there were.......Indian.? A shame really as it was good food.
rice works ok if cheep
if spraying for grass weeds just drill with any grain as spray will take it out
most cases just the gearbox out of it's sweet spot only other fix is slow down input. drive so gearbox has a wider range to work in
small seeds will separate in grain they don't so much in prg seed especially if you don't put very much in the hopper at a time.
be careful, if it comes wet weather the rice will grow ??Funny that this thread has popped up....
I have some patching to do where the dreaded fleabeetle has decimated the seedlings in game cover. So I popped into an Indian supermarket yesterday, and asked for the cheapest rice they had. Young guy came over and asked what I wanted it for, which made him chuckle when I explained. 12 quid for 20kg bag... I wish the seed was as cheap!!

How much polishing do you do to need a specialist shopThat is cheap. I guess that's one advantage of living in an ethnically diverse area. We only have Polish shops here.

@neilo could've given reasons before possibly ? .....but anyhow it could just be down to cost,maybe because the option isa fair bit dearer...the reason (s)why he doesn't or rather didn't get an air drill versionIf it is a regular problem is it worth fitting a small air seed box. Bet there are a few lying about on arable farms now that don't (can't) grow osr anymore.
