@Jennifer Timmers :)

Thank you @ingrid fay for sharing your experience! So grateful for your support and advocacy!!

Oh no, Stacey what a nightmare!! Supply and demand kinks are definitely a hallmark of the industry and I'm sorry it got you this time. Thank you for sharing, really good to know for all of us who want to use hemp in our projects and don't want delays or wasted effort.

@Amy McMorrow Hunter is this survey still open??

Hi @Tpasley I'm not sure about denial letters but I think the best plan is to contact someone at IDOA, maybe David Lakeman the Cannabis Division Manager, or his assistant Ed Grey, if you haven't heard anything yet! David.Lakeman@illinois.gov Edward.Gray@illinois.gov 217-558-4257

@Lauren Virnoche Charles is open to learning more about opportunities you have this season :)

@Lauren Virnoche Amanda is open to learning more!

@Charles Alley

@zack There is an option with Formation Ag but much it IS a lot pricier than what's in the link on Alibaba. https://formation-ag.com/products/processing/decorticator/fibertrack118 There is also this little guy, but again, higher cost! https://hurdmaster.com/ And Whitefield Global here in IL is working with farmers/fiber too if interested in plugging in: https://www.whitefieldglobal.com/fiber @Patrice are you talking about IND Hemp?

Here is the only group I know of that is actively working with hemp fiber in IL: https://www.whitefieldglobal.com/fiber We don't have a complete or updated list of processors right now (we can work on that - any volunteers?? :P) but if you scroll to the bottom of https://www.illinoishga.com/maps there is a list of IL license holders, including processors. It's a start!

Thank you @Patrice Molinarolo and @Hempstock Pharms ! I will be sure to pass this info along!

Hi @Zack, Depending on what your end goal is there may be better alternatives - are you aiming for hurd or bast? Both? Are you aiming for any specification?

Thanks, @Kirk w/MIACANNA !

Hi @Zack, Depending on how much you'd like I may be able to help you out. I have left overs from last year that I am willing to share if you're interested.
