[Gristmillers] How Do You Prepare Wheat?

[Faber McMullen]

That is exactly what I need.  Now, everyone reading this can see that  
they
are between $100 and $4000.  cncbuck at mchsi.com  let me know how
I "got took" before, so here I am asking anyone if they have one  
closer to
$100 than $4000.  If not, I'll need to start saving til I can buy one  
for $4000.

Stacey, thanks so much for the direction,
FaberM
