I acquired a Clipper No. 27 fanning mill last winter complete with a stack of screens. Needs a little repair but nothing major (I think). Neighbor saw it on a trailer in my driveway earlier this year and called me to see if I'd be willing to clean 700 bushels of rye seed coming off field in the next few weeks. He's transitioning to certified organic so it's going to be much cheaper for him to clean seed than buy fresh organic seed for cover crop.
Given I know little to nothing about this machine or how to use it I don't really feel good about charging too much but I don't want to give up a weekend or more of my time for nothing other than maybe some learning about cleaning seed.
What would you charge the guy? We're going to unload from seed tender wagon into fanning mill and auger back into grain truck. No bagging or anything so once it's set up and working good the machines do most of the work.
