Wild & Wonderfull WV | Tried some acres in 2018. DON'T bet the farm on this. We drilled and anticipated harvesting with a combine. We had record rainfall all season and the crop suffered. Weed pressure and waterlogged plants were our biggest problems. Nearly a total failure . The permit holder was in charge of harvest and did harvest some plant material for CBD. They have not processed yet so I have no idea if there will be any value. Including a few pics. Notice the seed head pic you have seeds that brown dried and shattering with immature green ones that will heat almost immediately after harvest. Not sure how to effectively harvest and handle. Another farmer in the area had 130 acres and they struggled to get 25 acres harvested. U of Kentucky who has worked several years with hemp had similar results in 2018. Not going to give up and I'm sure there is $ to be made but would concentrate on a tobacco production type of model rather than a grain production model
