Hemp is a very tough plant. The fibrous stalk makes it difficult to use conventional harvesting methods. Maximizing CBD can add extra complexity to harvesting. These two properties – fibrous and oil producing – are the whole reason this crop is valuable, and the same reason traditional machinery is disqualified.

Many people think that hemp is easy to grow, that it’s a “plant it and forget it” crop with great profits reaped at the end of the season. This is only partially true, and requires context in order to understand.

Formation Ag is working with GCS to provide systems for cleaning, sorting, and concentrating hemp seed and grain, and flower material.
