Talk:hurd

another definition of hurd

With whom should I discuss the use (and etymology) of the word 'hurd' as employed in hemp decortication; probably meaning the woody core as opposed to the more useful cortical fibers? https://hurdmaster.com/history-of-hemp-decortication/#:~:text=In%20the%2019th%20century%2C%20the,the%20fibers%20from%20the%20hurd. "In the 19th century, the invention of the decorticator revolutionized the hemp industry. The first decorticator was invented by George Schlichten in Germany in 1835. It was a hand-cranked machine that used rollers to crush the hemp stalks and separate the fibers from the hurd." GaryD144 (talk) 17:10, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
