high-throughput DNA extraction

We need to isolate DNA (for PCR) from many thousands of maize plants.
We've found some very quick/easy extraction protocols that work on fresh
tissues.  However, the big stumbling block is tissue grinding.  We would
like to avoid the necessity of freeze-drying the tissue prior to
extraction, but so far we haven't had good luck grinding fresh tissue in a
paint shaker.

Has anyone worked out a reliable, easy protocol from fresh tissue?
