Hemp, Inc. Oregon Processing Operation Featured in NewsWatch 12's Harvest Coverage
Las Vegas, NV, Nov. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- (OTC PINK: HEMP) announced today news coverage in local news outlet NewsWatch 12 (ABC) based out of Medford, Oregon. The published news segment features an interview with Barry Epling, CEO of Hemp, Inc. wholly-owned subsidiary Farming Capital Corp. The coverage also includes footage from Hemp, Inc.’s state-of-the-art hemp processing facility as the Company works through harvest season in Rogue Valley.
During the interview in the segment entitled, “,” Epling discusses why hemp farmers need to plan ahead and consider the type of local infrastructure available to process their crops. Epling stresses the importance of being ready to process hemp once it has been harvested so that hemp material does not go to waste.
In the segment, Epling comments, “It’s a very profitable business if it is done right and it’s an enormous loss if it’s not planned all the way through. When you plant the seed, if you don’t know where you’re going to dry it, cure it, and process it -- you should not plant the seed.”
