Eric makes the drive to Monte Vista in southern Colorado, in the San Luis Valley, to meet the folks from Formation Ag, a company that’s been building hemp harvesters and decorticators since 2015.
Corbett Heffner gives a demonstration of the decorticator. Seeing this machine in operation, you start to see a vision of the future where these machines are ubiquitous in farming communities, creating new supply chains, bringing manufacturing back to U.S. shores and building economic security for farms, farmers and surrounding communities.
Heffner, vice president of research and development at Formation Ag, says hemp “is giving farmers the opportunity, through value-added work, to help control their financial destiny. For the first time, they’re not stuck with a granary kind of model, where they take it to an elevator and they get whatever the commodity’s trading for. I think if we do this correctly, farmers are going to be able to set some price points and control that financial future from top to bottom on this crop.”

This channel is easily doing more coverage on hemp for fiber and other non-cbd processes than any other channel I've found. So underrated, please keep producing this content. For someone like myself who plans on working in the hemp processing industry, there is very little new content on the industry.

This is so informative, thank you so so much! Although I swear I was starting to feel my eyes itch watching all that fibre flying around!

🙌 yes hempcrete resists erosion from humidity better than concrete. It should be mandated/allowed for non recreational hemp varieties to be grown wherever possible. Any rivers lakes streams estuary etc should be planted and each human have right to free food clothing and shelter from the abundance of hemp.

new age printing filament (ink for 3d, 4d, 5d, laser printing plus what's next) especially hempcrete and papers and plastics will help make a better world. Hemp Is Victory!
