I'm working in a new project and the objective is mechanically harvest at the same time hemp seeds and straw. It is a trial field so the plots are 2m wide. There is a machine available for this purpose? or can you give advice in how to do it otherwise than by hand?
For processing hemp fiber, hemp processors and producers will need equipment like destemming machines and decortication machines. If the hemp is used for seed production, the process will require a hemp seed shelling machine.
Hemp is a versatile plant that can be harvested for plant fibers or for their nutritious seeds. Unfortunately, the fibers and seeds mature at different times throughout the season and cannot be harvested together in the same crop. Whichever product you plan on harvesting from hemp, just make sure growing it in your area is legal.
