Towards their Promise
The CropLogic group is one of the primary ASX-listed companies to secure a US hemp growers license and has achieved a name in the field at a trial farm. Its investors are hoping for a great harvest and yield rates from the operation’s expected cropping and a crop worth that exceeds the company’s market capitalization.
The Boring Seed Company of Oregon USA T2 hemp strain crop has already been stated industrial hemp compliant by an ORELAP (Oregon Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) accredited laboratory. The Oregon Department of Agriculture authorizes it. THC from CropLogic’s hemp was stated to be below maximum levels for industrial hemp in Oregon, which is delta-9 levels of less than 0.35 percent.
Crops at the group’s trial land in central Oregon had delta-9 results ranging from zero to 0.0738 percent.
Last year, CropLogic was getting ready for its trial farm for harvest.
This month’s harvest will involve various harvesting methodologies CropLogic plans to utilize at its hemp trial farms as the group tests their fitness for farming hemp at scale.
The company also anticipates to learn from its experience and judge how its methods can be used in future expansion to crops in-field. Management of the award-winning global agronomy, agtech, farm management company announced on Monday morning that it was on track to harvest a high-quality crop that had met all of the regulatory requirements inside Oregonian law.
Testing by a third party ORELAP (Oregon Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certified lab, one of only some 21 labs authorized by Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) to perform Industrial Hemp compliance testing, has stated that all areas under the Hemp Trial Farm have a THC level under the maximum requirement for them to be treated as industrial hemp. Under Oregonian law, hemp fields need to be tested by an ODA authorized lab to ensure delta-9 levels are below .35 percent, a process commonly called in the industry’ compliance testing’.
Fields at CropLogic’s Hemp Trial Farm in central Oregon operated by its wholly-owned subsidiary LogicalCropping recorded results from zero (below limit of quantitation) to .0738 percent of delta-9 THC, well below the required maximum of .35 percent. This states that all fields are compliant for them to be treated as industrial hemp, and the firm has been advised that this lab will be lodging these areas as such with the ODA.
Discussing the effect of regulatory approval, James Cooper-Jones says, “This is another important milestone for the Hemp Trial Farm. Once again, the combination of good genetics, sourced via the hemp expertise resourced by LogicalCropping, conjoined with growing methods developed using CropLogic’s agronomy, farm management, and agtech brilliance, has worked in the Trial Farm’s favor.”
A combine swather (windrower), harvester attachment and swather (windrower) appearing on site ahead of harvest. With compliance testing complete, management has also made leaps on the logistics side with much of the vast machinery on site. Management stated that CropLogic’s expertise in agronomy and farm management had translated into strong growing methods, stating that it should be well placed to meet harvest expectations, which indicated the generation of substantial revenues for the company.
The company has positioned itself to churn-out revenues in years to come from showcasing its farm management and technical expertise in the hub of a significant agricultural region. While the administration hasn’t committed to establishing a hemp farming business, it said that the upcoming harvest would include various methodologies at the Hemp Trial Farms to test their ‘application into hemp farming at scale and potential use in any eventual expansion.’ Few fairly predictable profit-taking occurred in August after the group’s shares had increased 500 percent in five months. Still, the stock showed resilience last week, gaining 5 percent in the face of a global downturn in equities markets.
Since this is the first time the company has traded at today’s levels since the August sell-off, investors may be targeting the stock ahead of the much-anticipated harvest news. At this point, a significant degree of revenue transparency is likely to have the number crunchers attributing a much firmer ‘with confidence’ valuation to the stock.”
