It's just a thought but if you could get a contact in the rice industry there are probably crops at the right stage now in the MIA and along the Murray if you can convince a grower to part with some and get it shipped overnight and then you can dress it and freeze it yourself. I find Stars are partial to it and it goes without saying that so are Javas. Many of the munias and parrotfinches were once listed as rice pests so nature would indicate that it is a good green seed if you can get it.
