In 1955 six Brummel brothers in Naperville, IL started their own seed cleaning companies, independent of each other as brothers but tied together as a family. They purchased Clipper 47 fanning mills and mounted them on trailers and pulled them around the countryside with old Chevy cars, cleaning small grains and clovers on the customer's own farm.
As soybeans entered the U.S. agricultural scene, Brummel Seed Cleaning continued to service the customers on the farm with this 'new' grain.
Today, Brummel Seed Cleaning continues to offer it's services of seed cleaning and grain conditioning into a 3 state market. The current independent buisness' being run by cousins now. The machinery has improved along with capabilities and services.
Ken Brummel has been operating in Bureau County Illinois since 1990 and services Northwest Illinois, Eastern Iowa, and South West Wisconsin. In 2012 his son Richard started cleaning also.
Ken and Rich offer seed cleaning services for seed use, food use, storage conditioning, seperation of mixed grains, and conditioning of salvage grain. They have capabilities of bulk handling and bagging of seed. Service is still provided on your farm or elevator saving you time and hassle of transporting the grain to a different site, and you are assured of recieving your own grain with no cross contamination from others.
