Hi Greg and all,

How did the milling go? I am quite interested in seeing if we could do
comething like that here in Central Texas - we've got a lot of mesquite. I
bought some meal and have been serving up mesquite meal pancakes to my
neighbors to see if I could generate enough interest in pursuing a milling
demo or operation here.

Is the milling fairly easy to do and not too manual-process oriented? Can
the beans come from any variety of mesquite - or are there only some that
work well? How much meal can you make from say, a five gallon bucket full
of mequite pods? Could the mill be run via a steam engine?

Your help is appreciated!

Sincerely,

marjory
