Seed cleaning equipment for serious seed savers
This is the best set of seed cleaning screens! I purchased them thanks to the Bauta Family Seed Grant. They cost $170 US dollars for 8 screens purchased in 2015 from Horizon Herbs, PO Box 69, Williams OR. 97544. They are strong and still like new after 5 years of heavy use.
