HempCyberFarm Answer 9

Answer 9 Expected Yield
Hemp for Fiber or Seed

9. Expected Yield:

Yield of	Per Hectare	Per Acre
Dry stalks	10-14^* tonnes	8,000-11,330 pounds
Seeds	± 1300 kilogram	± 1,100 pounds
Oil	300-600 liter	33-68 gallons

* HempFlax now claims to have a Biomass (dry stalk) yield of up to 17 tons\ha.

These results are also mentioned:

Yield of	Per Hectare	Per Acre
Oil	300 gallons/1,130 liter	120 gallons
Bleached pulp	5-6¾ tonnes	4,000-5,400 pounds

(1 ton = 907 kilograms = 2,000 lb. US, 1 ha = 2.47 acre, 1 gallon = 3.78 liter, weight of Hemp-seed 7.1 lb/gallon)

"Low THC*-seeds are for fibre and bio-mass production and seed yields are only about 296 grams per plant which gives you about 1 tonne per hectare. Far less than the 4 tonnes/ha of seed needed to produce 300 gal. of oil."

"But some varieties which are grown in Khasakstan for seed oil purposes produce up to 900 grams of seed per plant. This type of production per plant would produce the 4 tonnes per hectare needed to produce 300 gal of oil."

*Industrial-Hemp has no psychoactive properties following definition of the European Economic Community (EEC); THC content is less than 0.3%.
