[GSBN] rice hull moving equipment question

[John Swearingen]

Picking up on Bob's idea, there are sawdust blowers for shops...insulation blowers feed in a particular way for fairly dense material ..can you take a bag of hulls to the rental yard and see what happens?

I have heard mixed reviews about using a cellulose insulation blower to move this stuff.  Ideally, since the place the truck will dump is a couple hundred feet away from the building, it would be nice to move it in one fell swoop... and since my California snow shovel doesn't exist, what is my second choice?
