[Gristmillers] How Do You Prepare Wheat?

[Faber McMullen]

Sounds like a great way to do it.  I have the small 8" meadows mill to  
use
while I am rebuilding the big one I bought in Louisiana.  I don't have  
a bolter
so perhaps you could explain that a bit.  I just have three pieces of  
equip for
grain:

1 - pull behind PTO driven AC All crop Combine (grain head only)
1- M2B Clipper Fanning Mill
1- 8" Meadows Mill - table top mill

If I need a bolter, please tell me where I can get one and how much it  
should
cost.  Sorry for my very basic questions.

Thanks
Faber
