GROWING HEMP AND NEED TO INSTALL DRIP TAPE?
Hemp farmers are looking for field equipment that can manage multiple products in one pass. The Andros BOSS Injection Implements can be configured to manage multiple functions including dispensing plastic mulch and forming beds on the same pass as installing the drip tape lines. Andros equipment can built to meet the number of rows per pass as needed by a grower. And Andros extraction and retrieval equipment efficiently removes the drip tape after the season is over.
