Yarmouth Farmer Grinds Own Flour
Yarmouth, Dec. 14. Ray Redfern, two years ago, started grinding his own winter wheat into flour to cut bread costs. He uses a feed grinder, a fanning mill, and a barrel churn to polish, producing flour that makes bread with better nutrition and lower expense. One bushel yields 60 pounds of flour for about $1.70, versus 48 pounds of white flour costing $3. He notes whole wheat bread is denser but more economical and urges others with good wheat to try it, adjusting yeast if the first batch is weak.
