tgello - If you plan to keep a log as to how much wind you receive I suggest that you purchase one of those hand held wind meters. They are fairly economical. I got mine on ebay. The wind speeds on your property and at windmill height can be a lot different than that measured at the local weather station.
Advice, if you are using the mill for aeration keep an eye on the clogging of the diffuser and check valves. They are the weak links in windmill efficiency and operation. I suggest check them annually.
