Hemp Drying
Centrally located in Newton Kansas, Sunnyland commercially dries hemp for larger scale farms that don’t have onsite drying capacity. This 30,000 sq. ft. facility has two drying systems, a batch system for gentle handling of feminized hemp crops, and a higher capacity barrel-drying system for whole-plant industrial hemp. The barrel-dryer integrates a unique separation system designed to assist the industrial hemp farmer in adding value through the drying process.
Hang-Drying
One of the unique challenges of hemp farming is the rapid decomposition of hemp immediately after harvest. Due to the active-resin of the crop, hemp will compost within a day if left in bulk. Small farms may opt for drying feminized hemp in barns or similar hang-dry facilities, but the space and labor required often outstrips the farm’s capacity. If our drying solution is needed, we write drying contracts with farmers in the spring/summer for the busy fall harvest season. Our fall schedule fills early and it is critical to have a drying plan prior to planting.
Bale-Drying
Larger industrial hemp farms may opt for air-tight baling programs that will preserve material for drying at a later date. We dry baled product year-round.
