“After months of weather delays, due to above average rainfall, we have finally been able to install our 60-foot tall silo as you can see from Hemp, Inc.’s latest video update.” said David Schmitt, COO of Hemp, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC. “Edwards Inc. of Spring Hope, NC provided the cranes and the manpower to raise and position the steel silo onto the concrete foundation. Concor, Inc. of Greenville, NC fastened the silo to the foundation. It was a double victory, with the Missouri House passing the industrial hemp bill legalizing the cultivation of industrial hemp.”

Craig Perlowin, Secretary of Hemp, Inc. was on site to observe the event. “The excessive rain made the soil too soft to hold the 2,100-ton cranes that were needed on site to install the steel silo. Prior to that, above average rainfall delayed the crew in pouring concrete for the 60x16x2-ft thick pad that provides the foundation for the silo. We had to wait over 8 weeks for a break in the weather to pour that concrete slab. The massive steel silo is 12 feet in diameter and 60 feet tall and weighs 30,000 pounds, when empty. Now that the silo is in place, everyone is relentless in moving forward to finish America’s largest commercial, hemp processing facility. It’s evident nothing can stop the hemp revolution. More states are beginning to pass an industrial hemp bill.”

According to Schmitt, the silo will be used to store Hemp, Inc.’s loss circulation material (LCM), Drillwall, prior to packaging. “Once the Kenaf (or hemp) stalk has been decorticated, the core of the stalk will go through a milling process to obtain a certain particle size. Then, there are several additives that go into the mix. Once this process is complete, the finished product is conveyed pneumatically into the silo. From the silo, it is conveyed mechanically to the bagging line where it is packaged in 25-pound multi-wall bags and palletized for shipment.”

Jack A. Farrior Inc. of Farmville, NC is the engineering firm assisting with the installation of Hemp, Inc.’s milling operation. The final drawings have been approved and the installation and fabrication are on track according to Schmitt.

“On Saturday, April 9, 2016 we began bailing our Kenaf harvest from last year. We are approximately 50 percent complete with this process. Once the harvest is complete, all of the material should be in our warehouse by Sunday April 16th, weather permitting of course.” The company has been receiving numerous requests for products on a weekly basis. “It is my goal to have several orders in house prior to bringing the plant online.”
