If you are planning on purchasing a grain mill so that you can grind your own wheat and other grains, you’ll soon find that there are lots of options.  One of the first choices that needs to be made is whether or not you want to go with a manual grinder or an electric powered model of some sort.

For some of us, though, both are needed.  This would certainly be the case if you wanted the speed and convenience of an electric mill, but needed the capability of continuing to produce your own flour even in the face of power outages.  That could be a part of your family’s emergency preparedness planning.

If that is the case, you would, of course, then want to limit your searches to machines that have both options — normally run using electricity, but with the option available of converting to hand operation.  Or would you?

Such machines certainly exist, but they tend to be rather costly.  Surprisingly enough, it is often more economical to buy two instead of one.  Select a good quality electric grain mill, and choose, as well, a manual grinder that would also meet your needs.  You might actually save money by doing so.  In any case, it is certainly worth investigating.
