Correction: Over six years to develop... with government funding...

Long delayed
The long-awaited — and long-delayed Plains Hemp plant will hopefully follow HempSense next year, according to Manitoba Agriculture representatives. Equipment is running and being tested on site, the Manitoba Co-operator has been told.

The plant was met with optimism when it was first announced in 2010. Both federal and provincial governments threw support behind the project, announcing $5.3 million in funding, $4.775 million of which was federal.

At the time, owner Robert Jin predicted a quick opening to the plant. Construction of the building wasn’t completed until 2013, however.

The plant was delayed again in 2014 after a worker was seriously injured, losing part of his arm. The company was later fined $20,000 due to the incident.

As of June 2016, the company was said to be updating electrical wiring inside the plant.

The fibre-focused Plains Hemp plans to offer a range of fibre quality products ranging from animal bedding and floor absorbent to barbecue pellets and “hempcrete” building material.

Despite having both plants in close proximity, Bates says he is not concerned about competition.

“There’s enough acres out there and we can contract with our own farmers to take the seed and the straw, enough to run both plants,” the HempSense owner said.

Plains Hemp did not respond to requests for an interview.

From Aug 10, 2017, which is the latest public update on the Plains Hemp plant, so it's probably still non-operational.

Plenty of Canadian players out there... Anyone care to share who the American processors are?

I was asked to provide one in the western hemisphere. And that’s what I did. The props in North Carolina don’t compare to any of the hemp processing plants already in place in North America. Bruce is actually trying to imitate them copying their products saying he’s going to produce them, it’s a scam, we all know it.
