For 2020 Cannabis harvest set to double from 2019
​
The good news: This year, more than 500,000 acres have been licensed for hemp cultivation this year and we expect that approx. 140,000 acres of hemp will be harvested - almost double the 78,000 acres that were harvested in 2018!

The bad news: There aren't enough processing labs to handle all that hemp, which will create an even larger processing bottleneck than there was last year!

It is going to be a wild 18 months; contact Dragonfly now and be ahead of the crowd!

About Davis Farms  
      At Davis Farms, CBD rich plants with a total THC content of less than 0.3% have been our focus for some time now. Stabilizing those varieties and producing high-quality feminized seed for farmers from them has been a multi-year journey and the results have exceeded expectations. We stand by our work and provide third party data to validate Fem and Germ rates. We provide COAs and references by farmers that have grown our seeds.
      Genetics are the foundation of success in the hemp industry. We work with clients to ensure the genetics were bred for your specific bio-region or microclimate. We can tell you where and under what conditions the seeds were produced. We operate a pest, pathogen, and virus free environment and work from pathogen and virus free mother stock.

Testing Labs Are in Great Demand !!

With so few Cannabis and Hemp Testing labs available, we are frequently being called to set up new facilities. And no wonder ~ the potential for earning huge amounts of money is certainly appealing !!

Our Team provides a complete service. No matter where you are in the process, we can help. Our consultants provide real-world advice based on having owned and operated a successful testing lab.  We have several options: 

• Turnkey - We set up the entire lab: all the instruments, lab-ware, hoods and benches supported by our expert consulting team to give you an ISO compliant laboratory ready for testing !! 
• Resale - We help you build a fully compliant spec lab for resale.   We often do this with LOI in hand. This is a great investment opportunity because a fully functioning lab can sell for $5-8 million. 
• Instruments - We get you all the instruments and materials that you need and let you set up the rest yourself. 

 
Our team also includes former ISO inspectors, making our lab team unmatched in ISO and in technical experience. You'll get a set of fully customized QMS procedures as well as help hiring and training staff on the instruments and ISO procedures. We can get you up and running in as little as 6 months, instead of the 18-24 months you'd have to wait with other consultants. 
 
One of the mistakes I frequently see new labs make is focusing on the sampling and forgetting about the inspections. Buying the instruments and learning how run samples isn't enough if they can't pass inspections and get closed down. That is why many testing labs fail.
 
For the Testing Lab - Analytical Instruments
For your analytical needs we carry:

• LCMS
• HPLC
• GC
• HPLC
• ICPMS
• QPCR
• Misc such as scales, homogenizers, ovens, lab ware, benches, hoods

 
For the Processing Lab - Extraction and Post Extraction Equipment
We also carry equipment for you to do processing.  We have;

• Ethanol and CO2 extractors
• Evaporators
• Winterization
• Distillation systems
• Solvent Regeneration
• Reactors
• Ovens, freezers, chillers, misc

Fun Facts About Cannabis

Most people think Cannabis is marijuana, but this is only partly true. Actually marijuana belongs to the

• Kingdom – Plantae
• Phylum – Tracheophyta
• Class – Magnoliopsida
• Order – Rosales
• Family - Cannabaceae

In the Cannabaceae family are eleven genera which are home to hundreds of subspecies. One of these subspecies is Marijuana. ​This family also contains Hemp, Blue Sandalwood, Trema Orientalis and Hops. That means the hops in your favorite beer is in the same family as marijuana! If we expand our classification up one level to the Order of Rosales we find that our favorite herb is also related to strawberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, mulberries, pears, plums, almonds, figs, and roses.
