One heck of a "weed whacker"!

That's very impressive!

@TEOTKU The only connection to marijuana is that hemp is the same family. It is grown entirely for its fibre content. You would have to smoke a whole field's worth to get a high. To see the machine you would need to be in England.

Hi, impressive machine!
I'm thinking of growing hemp in Sweden, may I have your e-mail adress so I can ask you a few questions?
Kind regards

@Falconferare What did you want to know?

@JanetteEyles
How much equipment (money) is needed to manage a few acres?
Which problems did you run into the first few years?
Is it difficult to find buyers for the product?

@Falconferare You can drill the seed with a normal small seed drill. No spray is required. IN the UK you need a licence to grow it. The seed is very expensive compared to any other crop, sown at a rate of minmum of 37 kilos per hectare. 120 unit of nitrogen per hectare. You need to have a buyer before planting see Hemptec.

@Falconferare Thank you.
We need a licence as well. Is nitrogen needed when rotating crops as well, ie does it help when rotating crops? Iäm aware of the seed cost, I'm wondering about the machine equipment needed.

@Falconferare Yes you need nitrogen. It doesn't need a specialist drill but it is the cutter that is the specailist piece of equipment needed.This cutter was used for contract cutting this year of about 300 hectares for several farmers.
