Long fiber hemp: hemp harvester and data collection training
Spread over 3 seasons and 3 years, the course aims to learn more about hemp harvesting techniques to ensure that the fibres are well parallelised for optimum processing. Harvesting hemp is crucial to ensuring quality fibres. The stalks must remain parallel to each other from sowing to winding, including harvesting and retting, if mechanisation is to be efficient and of high quality.
Programme: learning how to operate a hemp harvester, discovering the advantages of the machine, its latest adaptations and processing data from the harvest. The training, which is intended to be as practical as possible, will take place on a plot of land at the time of a textile hemp harvest. Several sessions will be organised in Wallonia, Flanders, the Netherlands, France and Germany.
