We are showing here a few of the machines that 
we use in cleaning and grading our seeds. Somé of 
these are installed in batteries of 3 or 4. Then there 
are scores of screens for some of these machines. 
Others work on a different basis and use no screens 
at all. All of them require expert adjustment ac- 
cording to the kind of seed being cleaned and the 
impurities to be removed. Sometimes we buy seed 
already cleaned but for the most part we do all our 
, Own cleaning and grading. We have the equipment 
) and the know how. 
MODERN CLEANING 
_ After going through our plant all lots are tested 
in our laboratory. Test tags are prepared to show 
the purity, germination and any other information 
that the Federal Law requires for shipments going 
into your state. You know what you get when you 
buy from Berry’s. 

This cleaner uses screens 
and regulates air blast 
in processing seed. We 
have several of these 
types. 
This peculiar cleaning 
machine has rolls cov- 
ered with velvet that 
pick up certain rough 
weed seeds while the 
smoother clover seeds 
go through.

This machine is used 
in our first step of 
grading corn. It 
separates Flat and 
Round kernels. Both 
Flats and Rounds 
are then graded for 
accurate planting. 
Our seed corn is all 
chemically~ treated. 
This helps control 
diseases. Treated 
seed will stand 
more unfavorable 
weather conditions 
after planting. Some 
firms use fancy 
names for treat- 
ment. The effect is 
all about the same.
