Fredericka, I've been baking bread at home on and off for many years. 
Weighing flour has made an enormous difference to the quality and 
consistency of the finished product. As you suggest weighing flour from 
each mill is the way to go. However you may want to consider going a bit 
farther... use bakers percentages to convert your recipes from avoirdupois 
to metric measurements. By measuring all your ingredients you will further 
improve the quality and consistency of the finished product. And you can 
substitute one brand of flour for another without worry.
