We decided this year we would stick it out and buck our hemp by hand. I was going to modify some old machinery we had but next year I can post how that goes. We needed to get our field harvested so we built a box that might be useful else where. I think we need more post like this to help each other out. I call this the Terry Bucking Box (TBB). Its a simple design and very easy to make. You will have premium bucked hemp flower and leaves with minor stems in your bags. We actually got out hemp dried so we wet bucked as well.
The super sack will sit inside but you just need to make sure your box is big enough to lift the box over the bag. Lifting the bag out of the box is a bit rough.
Warning: Just so you know wet hemp sitting in a confined space is dangerous. Its the same thing as having wet hay. It will decompose which causing the material to thermally heat up and them combust. Keep an eye on this.
Hope everyone had a great harvest. If anyone needs anything don't hesitate to reach out. We are located in Shelby County. We partner with farms and local companies to help with building a better hemp market. My hope is that we can post our story and help the next farmer with issues they may run into.
Awesome!
