Hemp harvest - windrowing

[VikingoEl22]

Looks like a good stand. Reminds one of hay grazer or sorghum. What does it yield in dry matter per hector?

[sveneriksvensson]

The dry matter yield in autumn harvested industrial hemp (mid September) varies normally from 12-18 ton per hectare during south Swedish conditions.

It's hard to tell from your vid, about how fast is that harvester moving?

[sveneriksvensson]

Rather fast 6-8 km/h.

[sveneriksvensson]

This industrial type of hemp is just for fibre production nothing else

[sveneriksvensson]

The cut hemp is dried for some weeks on the ground and then it is baled

@sveneriksvensson

[Portnob]

so its cut then u come along and pick it up....?

[sveneriksvensson]

Yes the hemp on this video is used for fiber production in Denmark.

[pidos847]

Hemp is an extremely fast growing crop, producing more fiber yield per acre than any other source. Hemp can produce 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax using the same amount of land. The amount of land needed for obtaining equal yields of fiber place hemp at an advantage over other fibers.
