Hi Nancy:
While at the UCBG Berkeley it was amazing seeing a seed
cleaning machine they have. It is like a glass candelabra of some sort and
through which a powerful air current flows upwards dragging the seed to one
branch and leaving the chaff in another. It cleaned lots of seeds in a few
seconds. Send a message to Holly Forbes and I am sure she will give you the
name, brand and details.Good luck
Alberto
