[Gristmillers] How Do You Prepare Wheat?

[Stacey Freeman]

You can run your wheat through your mill (stone) and then through your
bolter and sift it just like corn.  You will have a course flour that is
called "whole wheat flour" because it has the bran in it and is good flour.
Our roller mill and silks sifts to a much finer stage than a corn meal and
grits bolter though.

Folks,
I live in an area where wheat is grown and have a functional grist mill.  I
grind corn meal and have a bolter.  How do you get wheat - from the combine
- to the point where it is ready to grind into flour?  Is there another
piece of machinery involved? A roller Mill?  Is there a 
low tech way to do it?    I would like to take some of our locally grown 
wheat from the field to the table but am missing this piece of the puzzle.
