Sunflower seeds on the field

If you have been in this situation, how did you handle it?

I cannot imagine ejecting someone for non compliance for such a trivial thing, but I have been told to do so if the situation arises.

Sounds like a "mouth" rule, not a ground rule, and no, never been to a field where sunflower seeds are forbidden. Why would they be?
