Pardon me for dropping out of the conversation. I ended up at a farm show in Omaha, Ne. this week. Questions--is your blower inline, getting it's air supply off the shoe with the trash passing thru it, or is it off to the side being supplied externally? Would you consider other options? A farmer in Arkansas, in conjunction with the University of Ark., several years ago, developed a set of rollers for crushing weed seed which were screened out as they were sent thru the clean grain elevator. As I understand, this worked pretty well, and I'm pretty sure they patented it. This would mean that you would need to set your sieves to let them thru. You might try calling them or If you'd like, I can try to get in touch for you--I'm pretty sure that John W. might like this info, as well.
