[Gristmillers] How Do You Prepare Wheat?

[Faber McMullen]

Joe:

Unfortunately, I don't know a low tech way to do it other than with a fan
mill.  I bought a M2B REBUILT CLIPPER (and I mean rebuilt like new), from
Commodity Traders. It has a little electric 1/2 horse motor. It was about
$4000, but I need it as I clean my wheat for our community of faith, and
now some of the local Mormon community are buying from me. My grain must
be clean! I can clean 50 lbs in a couple of minutes.  It's amazing.  I
also have screens for soybeans and corn.

Kindest Regards,
Faber
