Quick & Easy

That is a great looking old(?) mill! A little history would be cool.
Is it for “production” or personal use?

Randy,

The mill is fairly new. It is a great machine made is the US;

It is for our own use. My wife uses the resulting flour to make bread and such.

A great idea for a cover Chuck. Now if I get that mill that means I will have to plant wheat this spring.

Ah so. Interesting.

simple and cool.

as for the rodent, instead of flour you could have meatballs.

But then again, Chuck, I”m sure that Robin (being the radical farm gal she is) would serve up a tasty rodent!

Nice solution. I am sure a much better fit then the ones available for sale and lends a more decorative touch to it as well.

Rodent meat balls ? rodent hamburger patties ? Been to Taco Bell or McDonalds lately ? Throw a little red sauce on those meatballs along with oil-cheese and turkey (?) pepperoni, and you have Subways latest offering ! You folks won’t have to consider competing with the fast food giants, since you now have a wunnerful, good lookin’ safety lid… Too bad there is no Handsome safety lid available to Corporate Ag. interests to prevent pink slime meat products ! Oh well… that doesn’t detract from the snappy maple lid ! Nice job Chuck !

My guess is keeping rodents out is more about what they leave behind after eating some grain, than accidentally grinding up rodents…

Looks very practical to me. I sure love homemade wheat bread. Yum! You’re one lucky man.
