Does anyone know of someone that feeds hemp hay to cattle? Suppose to be pretty good source of protein and fat. Would you do it?

I'm doing the same.... 15 acres, not 200. I'd heard you grind and/or bale the leftovers (stalks, etc) and it made good cattle feed.Richnm said:CCCowman said:Does anyone know of someone that feeds hemp hay to cattle? Suppose to be pretty good source of protein and fat. Would you do it?
At $50 per pound for hemp . Why would you even think of it ? We are trying to plant 200 acres of hemp this spring. 1250 plants per acre , average 1-1.5 pounds of hemp per plant $50 -$75 per plant.

I hope you got collateral before you start because if it's worth 100k an acre every farmer in the US will grow it and flood the market. It will be worth less than it cost to harvest then.Richnm said:We found a partner because we know nothing about hemp. He is supplying clones and has an extraction company. We agreed on a $figure per pound of flower. It is very easy to sell. I haven't heard about grinding it up or baleing it. Fiber is much less money than cbd. Fiber is about $300 a ton , close to alfalfa money. CBD is closer to $50-$100k an acre
