Le chanvre, un excellent précédent pour le blé selon Anicet Bretagne | Les pieds dans les champs

#hemp #hempseed #markets Anicet Bretagne is a farmer in the town of Gy-l'Evêque in the Yonne department, where he has been growing hemp since 2009. It was around this time that Anicet was contacted by a hemp grower who was looking for land in the Yonne department to establish hemp cultivation. Intrigued, he gave it a try, and it proved successful, as he continues to grow it today! Among its advantages, Anicet highlights its low input requirements, very little fertilizer needed, and no pesticides required. It is also a good crop for rotation (as a preceding crop after wheat). But above all, hemp's main advantage is its numerous market opportunities! With hempseed (hemp seed), Anicet contributes to the food market through animal feed (bird feed, fishing equipment, etc.) and human consumption with hemp oil, rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. As for the straw, the fibers, woody parts (shives), and dust can be reused. The applications are also numerous: paper pulp, textiles, plastics, etc. Anicet has a 5-year contract with his hemp processor, which specifies a tonnage of straw. This contract allows him to align his acreage with the expected straw production targets. For the cooperative, the advantage is ensuring a consistent quantity of straw to process each year. From an economic standpoint, Anicet achieves his second-best profit margin (after wheat). Regarding areas for attention: planting is delicate. It is essential to ensure that the hemp is sown under the best possible conditions. The second area of ​​concern is harvesting. A certain type of mechanization will be necessary at this stage (a conventional combine harvester with section mowers and round balers). In conclusion, Anicet recommends trying hemp because it's a fascinating and profitable crop!
