• 25 tons hemp hurd fiber / acre
• Fiber-averaged 5 tons/acre under good conditions
• Bast Fiber-6-10 tons/acre
• Seeds Oil- 37 gallons per acre
• Dry Matter- 3.5 tons per acre
• Using the Oregon University suggestion that 170 acres is the break even point.

Hemp Infrastructure Lessons Page 15

This MOhemp Energy blog post will compare its business plan against the lack of planning of the Kentucky hemp farmers are now dealing with. The snippets of information from hemp.com highlight how easily the Hemp Plants grow but then what?  Without the infrastructure (hemp processing plant) they're dead in the water as far as immediate income potential. MOhemp Energy by working directly with Farmers in the growing, harvesting, and processing the Raw Hemp into actual Products for use eliminates the Kentucky Lack of Hemp Infrastructure. Here is the snippet from the Hemp.com site that backup my claim:

     

"There is still no successful infrastructure to allow local area farmers and landowners the distribution networks they need to supply commercial hemp product companies with their industrial hemp crop."

During the normal trips on the crop inspections during the growing seasons will be the optimum time to observe the growing patterns and use Natural Selection Techniques by collecting the Hemp Seeds from the Hemp Plants that were performing the best.

In the wild animal world this would be similar to the strong survive.

Biomass and Bioenergy (Impact Factor: 3.41). 02/2011; 35(2):893-900. DOI: 10.1016/j.biombioe.2010.11.005

ABSTRACT There is a worldwide emphasis to increase the share of renewable transportation fuels. When using agricultural land for production of renewable transportation fuels, the energy output per hectare for different crops and transportation fuels is a crucial factor. In this study, the gross methane energy yield per hectare from anaerobic digestion of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), was determined at four different harvest times between July and October in Southern Sweden, a cold climate region. The biomass yield was determined for three years and the methane yield was determined for two years through the biochemical methane potential test.

• The highest biomass yield, 16 tonnes dry matter per hectare on an average, and the highest methane energy yield per hectare was achieved when the hemp was harvested in September or October, with an average gross methane energy yield of 136 ± 24 GJ per hectare. 
• There was no significant difference in the specific methane yield between the harvest times; the average being 234 ± 35 m3 per tonne volatile solids. 
• Biogas from hemp turned out to be a high yielding alternative to the currently dominating renewable transportation fuels produced from crops grown in Sweden: ethanol from wheat and biodiesel from rapeseed.
