STILLCANNA'S INITIAL HARVEST NUMBERS UP 300% OVER EXPECTATIONS
Stillcanna Inc.'s initial harvest numbers of biomass are up nearly 300 per cent. The company is currently capturing 1,000 kilograms of dry biomass (flower) per hectare. The company had previously announced an expected yield of only 350 kilograms of dry extractable biomass per hectare.
The company's hemp crops cover several separate parcels of land; the company is currently completing the harvesting of a 200-hectare parcel in the northern area of Poland, Warminsko. Its larger agricultural tracks of land are in southwestern Poland, Dolnoslaskie and in central Poland, around the company's headquarters. The company's crops appear quite homogeneous over its various land parcels and Stillcanna feels these initial harvest results should be reflective of its continuing harvest over the next weeks.
The new biomass estimate is based on a 20-hectare sampling of the first agricultural parcel. Stillcanna foresees no issues in completing its full harvest in the following weeks.
"We couldn't be happier with our biomass numbers," stated Jason Dussault of Stillcanna, Inc. "These numbers have exceeded our expectations. These agricultural results should greatly increase our company's business opportunities and revenue options."
The company's extraction equipment has arrived at its Polish NEXUS facility, the placement and installation of the equipment has begun. The company is on schedule to begin extracting and fulfilling its CBD isolate orders in Q4. The company's new proprietary dryers are anticipated to be operational within the week, preparing its biomass for extraction. Approximately 5,500 kilos of fresh biomass (wet flower) nets 1,000 kilograms of dry biomass. Only the flowers of the hemp plant contain CBD.
