Hemp Trial Farm Commences Biomass Shipments

By CropLogic

SPONSORED NEWS. CropLogic Limited (ASX: CLI), award-winning global agronomy, farm management and agtech company, advises that shipments have commenced under the supply agreement announced on 6 August 2019.

The supply agreement provides that CropLogic’s wholly owned subsidiary, Logical CroppingLLC, will supply biomass in weekly shipments. Payment in US$ will follow each delivery.

Provided these deliveries are completed the total supply agreement value is US$10,500,000 (A$15.4 million).

‘The commencement of shipping of biomass is a significant milestone in the hemp trial farm’, said CropLogic CEO James Cooper-Jones, ‘this milestone caps off a seed to sale story for the hemp trial farm and speaks volumes to CropLogic’s agronomy, farm management and agtech expertise.

Harvest timeline remains on track

The harvest timeline remains on track. There remains an element of ‘dialling in’ of machinery and processes to the extent that would be commonly expected for a project such as the trial farm, however this notwithstanding the harvest is progressing well.

The methodology of swathing (sometimes called windrowing in Australia and New Zealand), field drying and then combining biomass has to date been successful (see Figure 1).

Investors may remember a process of brushing after combining had been considered. However, management and buyers have been pleased with the consistency of biomass material from the combine (see Figure 2), potentially eliminating or at least reducing the need for brushing. This not only reduces the cost of brushing but also streamlines the harvesting process both this season and in any eventual expansion.

The harvest progress is such that the Company’s warehousing procedure is now being implemented. This includes bagging the biomass into supersacks (sometimes called Bulka Bags in Australia and New Zealand) (see Figure 3), weighing and tagging and then storing for sale.
