I was looking through the pics and I see alot of people feeding rice bran.Where can you buy this stuff at and is it cheaper than $8 a bag like corn is?

 

[odocoi]

I pay $7.25/50lb at a place called Oakley's in Beebe. Most feed stores will have it so just make some calls and check prices.

As anyone on here been having trouble getting rice bran? None of the feed stores around here have been able to get any so far this year.

Rice Bran

I like the stuff but don't recoment putting a lot out at once if it gets rained on it will mold and stink up your area and the deer won't eat it also in some areas I have found that the deer did not eat it so if you want to try start with a little. Coons and possums love it.

I've been able to find it in pretty much every feed store I've been in recently. I haven't bought any cause I'm feedin 12% pellets and 10% sweet feed. I would suggest if you start feeding it, mix it with corn or something you've been feeding and then slowing make the move to straight rice bran if that's your intentions. I would also recommend feeding it in a trough with a top on it big enough to protect it from the weather because like turkey pond bucks said....You don't want it getting wet.

If you are willing to drive to Stuttgart, Riceland Foods used to sell Rice Bran in 50# bags. You might want to call them.

Most farm stores have it, but the cheapest way to buy it is in bulk. A lot of places sell it in tote bags which are about 1600 lbs

do you have any idea how much it cost for the bulk bag?

 

[Manybeards]

I havn't priced it this year so I have no idea. It's usually a pretty big difference. Rice bran used to be really,really cheap before everyone started to buy to feed deer.

Ain't that the truth. They dang near used to give the stuff away just to get folks to haul it off.

Yep, A buddy of mine goes to the mill here in town and they jus dump it in the back of his truck and then we bag it and store it.:up:

I haven't bought any in a while but the last 1,600 lb. bulk bag I bought was $ 40.00 but that was before the secret got out and everybody started using it. The price went straight up and that's when I quit using it.

Do you guys have some names of the feed stores where you have bought the rice bran in the 1600lb totes. I've been calling around but have been unsuccessfull.

Oakely's in Beebe has ton bags.

 

[Kenny8906]

I called Oakley's and priced them. They quoted me $193 a ton. Little more than what I was expecting.

 

[ARShooter01]

that is a little high exp when you put another $75 with that and get a bulk bag of corn i have a few places to call around wynne ar and i will let ya know what i found out

 

[Kenny8906]

Sounds good, Thanks. I found another feed store in Cherry Valley, but they only do bulk (no bags). They are $90 a ton. Not too bad if a guy had a way to haul it and store it. Then again that is also a lot farther from me.

 

[Jam]

I used to buy the ton bags for $40 not more than 4 years ago. I can't feedem like I used to.:doh:
