The electrical and ducting need to be hooked up in the decortication side of plant. There is 10,000 wires that need to be hooked up. When I was at the facility in march it was about 4 months but I would say the 4-6 month time line seems accurate because their focus has been on the mill and you always want to be conservative on timelines so expectations don't get let down. This is a major operation and I am confident it is moving forward daily based on the videos I watch on Bruce's Facebook and the conversations I've had with management. Also I believe you heard that the 3000 acres were about to be planed on
Info on Knightscope:
We have completely different applications.
Knightscope – not multi-terrain, proprietary video system, different core technology, much greater build cost, ‘mixed’ history at best
Knightscope multi-terrain ‘family picture’ featuring an outdoor robot is a fake. A good fake. How come only one photo of said robot on entire web page?
Where are the cameras on this robot?
Design elements limit it’s ability – even if produced it won’t compete against us
I can show you 5 other robots on drawing boards . . . from drawing board to functional is a million miles. . .
Five weeks deployment time vs 5 hours RADBot deployment time.
Knightscope estimates 200 hours for K5 setup.
Enterprise software integration part of basic package from RADBot. Not available from Knightscope. RADBot can use COTS. . . KS no.
Also, look up William Santana’s (KS founder) background/history . . .
I been following this deal for a while and I like what I'm seeing a lot. Very excited for the future and I think there is a bright road ahead
Good stuff !!

Shaping the new hemp economy in America.
In 2012, Ryan Loflin, 41, had a successful business building designer homes from reclaimed barnwood. But in 2013, Loflin defied federal law and converted 55 acres of alfalfa on his family farm in southeastern Colorado into the first hemp field grown in the United States since cannabis prohibition began over 70 years ago.
“It’s all about job creation, that’s the whole point of this industry,” says Loflin, “To get small town America back to having jobs that are profitable. The end result in rural America is going to be pretty outstanding. It has so many uses… everything except glass can be made from hemp, it’s a special crop.”
Loflin had been mulling the venture for years, ever since Canada re-legalized the cultivation of the crop in 1998. According to the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance, farmers in the country planted 6,000 acres of hemp in 1998 and will plant an estimated 100,000 acres this year. The CHTA estimates the gross value of the crops to range between $30-$34 million, or between $990-$1,100 per acre. In comparison, American corn farmers made just under $1,000 an acre in 2013 (government subsidies included), making hemp far more profitable.
“It was just the right time, we moved ahead as we realized everything was falling in place,” says Loflin.
His 2013 crop was largely exploratory, but it sparked buzz in farming communities across the country as well as in major retail grocery chains and companies using hemp as a production base.
“I have had several farmers from all over, from Iowa, Texas, Kentucky and North Carolina — all across the country people have contacted me about growing hemp, especially here in Colorado. I have several people who are going to plant here next year, it’s pretty exciting.”
The organic grocery chain Whole Foods has expressed strong interest in Loflin’s endeavor. Whole Foods is looking for agricultural hemp meal to feed chickens a healthy organic diet, driving up the quality and therefore the value of the poultry products it sells.
“[Whole Foods] is a global industry, it’s a pretty big deal,” Loflin says.
Technically, Loflin is breaking federal law, yet to date no government or law enforcement agency has arrested him or pressed charges. The federal government would be hard pressed for a good reason to prosecute Loflin; hemp has an almost non-existent presence of THC, the cannabinoid responsible for creating the “high” associated with smoked marijuana, meaning it isn’t worth using recreationally. Coupled with the fact that other countries are profiting heavily off the crop, a high-profile raid, asset seizure, arrest and prosecution of this Midwestern farm full of financial promise would be widely unpopular with all Americans, regardless of political affiliation.
And isn’t hemp promising! Here is a short list of what can be made from hemp: cloths, textiles and fabrics, paper and paper goods, compostable food packaging, rope and twine, paints and varnishes, fuel and energy, plastics, medicines, foods and nutritional supplements and home building materials.
Hemp is also going to become one of the most valuable crops in the 21st century as the planet continues to heat up, snowballing the effects of world climate change. Demand for industrial hemp is likely to spike astronomically. Hemp plants naturally condition and clean soil, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and products made from them are ecologically sustainable and easily integrated into existing manufacturing and markets.
The world is still emerging from the economic collapse of 2008 and it’s becoming more and more apparent that Mother Earth is going to have the heaviest hand in shaping the economics of the modern era. Advocates for the legalization of marijuana already know the potential profits from legalized marijuana and taxpayer money that is saved by not prosecuting its possession and use. Hemp may just be the guiding light out of cannabis prohibition, world recession and the impending doom of global climate change.
You can support the end of hemp prohibition through the voting ballot and your dollar. Buying hemp products, which are legal for sale in the United States via import, increases domestic demand and incentivizes our policymakers to get on the right side of history and science.
Today, China is the largest producer of hemp in the world, generating 50 percent of the global supply. China’s hemp crop is largely used to create textiles for clothing. Canadian crops are mainly utilized for food consumption. No country on the planet has grown hemp on a massive industrial scale to replace crude oil and plastics, the largest single polluting industry on the earth. Whatever country dared to undergo hemp for biofuel and plastics is sure to have the largest economic advantage in the new millennium.
So while Loflin’s crop this year was small, it holds so much more promise than alfalfa, corn or soybeans.
“This year wasn’t about making money at all,” says Loflin, “It was about getting it done.”
Why don't you call?
Regarding card testing, Chaya said on the conference call that she guessed it would take 8-12 more weeks but she did not know exactly because it is completely out of her hands. It could be today, tomorrow, or in 3 months. No one knows and it is 100% out of the company's hands. The reality is that OUR card is being tested by a global payments network and it is in final stages of testing. Following the completion of the network testing phase, the card then goes to the number of Banks around the World who are in talks with the company.
LOOKING STRONG!! #OMVS
I think it was great news and almost teases everyone but if anything becomes definitive that's when I believe the market will react positively.
Right now, one can only guess
I think the world will find out in due time why they put out the RAD releases. They did it for a reason I believe.
Also the shredder did not just magically appear. There was nothing magical about that. The company bought the shredder months ago and the manufacturer has been building it for at least nine months. It takes time to build these things. There's nothing magical about it appearing, that's been in the works for a long time.
I don't think there is any plans to sell this company. Why would Bruce sell something with such a big upside? I don't even think it's ever crossed his mind. That's a delusional thought in my oppinion. Look at the upside if he sold compared to if he built it up big. Only a fool would sell this and Bruce is one of the brightest men I've ever met.
Bruce had millions of shares of Medical Marijuana, Inc. which is the first publicly traded company in this sector, that he started. In fact, we can thank Bruce for the 350 publicly traded pot stocks because he started this whole movement. When he sold MJNA, he ended up with millions of dollars worth of shares that he sold over the years to put the money into Hemp, Inc. And just for the record, he hasn't sold any of his Hemp, Inc. stock for over two years now. Maybe he knows something that we don't know. I believe this company will become the greatest success story of my entire career.
I believe our baler arrived this afternoon. It's at the finch Farm getting ready to roll.
I saw a warehouse full of Hemp and Kenaf ready to be processed. Why don't you go and see for yourself?
WRONG Panzer. I was at the facility a month ago and there is enough Hemp and Kenaf in the building RIGHT NOW, that I saw, to last the facility a whole year of production once the electrical and ducting is hooked up. The decortication side of the facility should be operational before the end of the year. All the equipment is in, aligned and just needs to hook up ducting and about 10,000 wires. Please stop diluting everyone with false information.
And what's not real about Hemp, Inc's facility?
http://www.courier-tribune.com/news/20161008/nc-first-hemp-processing-plant-gets-ok-in-asheboro
Between our facility in Spring Hope NC and this facility which will process plants and seeds into food and oils, North Carolina is quickly becoming the dominate hemp processing center in America. Very exciting times ahead.
