Hemp Inc (HEMP)

Saw those hilarious videos yesterday

Saw those videos on Hemp's Facebook page yesterday and had a good laugh, because the vids don't actually show the Chinese-made decorticator in action, with the workers hand-feeding kenaf into the gaping maw of the machine like the guys in this video [Warning: Be sure to turn down you PC's volume before clicking the link!):

Instead, we get Perlowin behind the camera asking questions of Schmitt while a few employees are busy pulling fiber from the machine's output and scraping it off the ground to toss into the pile, next to which is scattered core and bast that they'll eventually rake up.

According to a comment by Perlowin or Schmitt in one of the videos, they were filmed in early February.

Here's a photo from a Hemp vid of a few months ago that shows the unit on a pallet, before the engine was mounted:



These units are available on Alibaba for a reasonable price:

Anybody buying one of these should probably budget for the cost of prosthetic arms and hands.
