"Traditional seeding equipment can be used and harvesting hemp fiber can be done with existing baling machinery. But the height (up to 15 feet) of hemp and the strength of hemp fiber can be very damaging to equipment during harvesting and processing. Grain and oilseed equipment must be modified."
We had the best mowing machine john deere sold at one time and even cutting hay we worked on the cutting blades before, after , and sometimes DURING cutting . And it didn't have a wooden connecting rod , it was belt drive. and that's just the mowing machine . The baler was orders of magnitude more difficult to work on ! The knotters ?! shit homey .....
