Tune in on this episode with Mandi Kerr and Andrew Bishop, President at Ag Processing Solutions. Andrew is the Principal Engineer for Ag Processing Solutions, Inc. ("Ag Processing") and dryland farmer. Ag Processing is an innovator in the hemp fiber and plant protein industries. Ag Processing designs agricultural processing facilities that are efficient, cost effective and with the operator in mind.
Andrews current industries of focus are hemp, pulse crops, oil seeds, and malting. Hemp has nearly unlimited potential. The surface of that potential has only been scratched, meaning much more remains to be discovered about the possible uses of this versatile substance. Few doubt the arrival of federal legalization will be a benefit to the hemp industry. Past restrictions that prevented its expansion will gradually melt away, given the immense profits available for those who jump in at the early stages.
In this new environment, the imaginations of scientists, inventors, and entrepreneurs will now be fully unleashed, leading to a cascade of innovations and surprising turns. Advanced technology in hemp will widen product lines, increase efficiency, and boost production levels, and that should be enough to ensure ample funding for research and development in the years to come. In fact, technological innovation in hemp is already making an impact on several material categories.
