Grow With Us
Farmers are where it all begins.
Hemp Acres contracts with local farmers to grow and cultivate the hemp plant to be processed at Hemp Acres food-grade facility.
Hemp is a small seed that likes lots of nitrogen, warm, well-drained soils. In northern climates, hemp is typically sowed the first week of June with a grain drill, 6- 7 inch row spacing, 1/4 inch depth, and a seeding rate of 30 lb to the acre.
The tops of the hemp plant are harvested at the end of September to early October, straight-cut with either a bean head or swathed windrowed and picked up with a combine.
Proper handling of the grain is of utmost importance. Avoid using augers to minimize damage when handling the grain, as the seed is small, fragile, and filled with oil. Immediately after harvesting use belt conveyors or air to move the grain in and out of the bin, supplied with an adequate source of air and/or bin agitation.
