Conrad Rice Mill, Rice mill in New Iberia, United States.

Conrad Rice Mill is a processing facility in New Iberia that handles rice using traditional methods while incorporating modern equipment to maintain product consistency and quality. The structure houses the complete process from grain cleaning to packaging within its operations.

Philip Amelius Conrad began rice farming in Avoyelles Parish with his uncle Charles, then moved to the Bayou Teche near New Iberia. He built a small mill on his land in 1910 and in 1912 rebuilt it at 307 Ann Street, founding the Conrad Rice Milling and Planting Company. Two buildings from 1914–1917 and 1930 were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 10, 1982.

The mill demonstrates rice processing methods that developed in South Louisiana, attracting visitors who want to understand how local producers transform harvested grain into food products.

Visitors can explore the facility, which operates Monday through Saturday and offers guided tours throughout the day. Coming early allows you to see the processing equipment actively running during peak production hours.

The mill's 1912 building rises three storeys so rice can drop by gravity through each processing stage, from the top-floor storage bin into two 5-foot-diameter dehulling stones, then down to the huller and brush. The hullers were Engelberg machines made in Germany. Rice was later coated with sucrose and talcum powder in a device called the trumble, which is why the packets carry the instruction "wash before cooking".
