This week on the hemp podcast, we talk to Shane Pritchard and Bill Brill from Hemp Processing Partners, a Colorado-based company focused on providing processing solutions for fiber, grain and floral hemp production around the world.

Pritchard, chief engineer and co-founder of Hemp Processing Partners, said he sees how passionate people are about farming and genetics on one hand, and how other people are focused on what the hemp plant can be used for.

\\u201cBut,\\u201d he said, \\u201cthere\\u2019s kind of a void in the equipment space there in the middle to get you from the great farming practices to the great uses of hemp.\\u201d

Hemp Processing Partners, he said, was created to fill that void and provide industrial knowledge. The company started out providing processing solutions for the floral side of the industry, but has expanded into fiber and grain processing.

A vice president of business development at HPP, Brill said he sees the momentum building and soon the hemp industry will reach critical mass.

\\u201cPeople around the world, entities around the world, governments around the world \\u2014 both domestically and internationally \\u2014 are inquiring about large scale solutions,\\u201d he said. \\u201cLately, there\\u2019s been so much smoke, we know fire\\u2019s coming.\\u201d

In this interview we talk about the company\\u2019s goals and values, how it got started and where it\\u2019s headed. The conversation also veers into interesting territory of ESG investing, carbon sequestration, changing the stigma around industrial hemp and much more.

After the interview with Hemp Processing Partners, we check in with Deputy Ag Secretary Fred Strathmeyer from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to hear what\\u2019s in store this year at the Pennsylvania Hemp Summit in Harrisburg Nov. 14-15.
