Industrial Hemp Farming
Chris Boucher, Hempstead Company was the first person in over 50 years to plant industrial hemp legally in the USA in 1994. Imperial Valley hemp field, Brawley California. Hemp can grow up to 18-20 feet in this area. Mr Boucher had permits and contract from the USDA research center to conduct this experiment during 1994, March until July. Considered a historical hemp research project. Mr. Boucher was one of the original founders and concept of the HIA, Hemp Industries Of America. He also founded Hempstead in 1991. Currently Chris continues to develop Industrial Hemp Projects for hemp fabric, hemp clothing, hemp seed, hemp protein powder. New hemp products include hempcrete and hemp board.

We are now 17 years into the future since we first planted in 1994. Currently There is a California Industrial Hemp Farming Bill on Gov Jerry Brown’s desk. We are waiting for him top sign it into law. He has until Oct 9th 2011 to sign it or veto it. We think he will do the right thing and sign it. God Wiling Jah

There is a chance that the economy will not be centrally controlled any more. People should be able to grow their own food or energy, but that is essentially illegal by decree (big business would be my first guess). Entrepreneurs.. whatever.. but people should have a right to a stabilizing agriculture. Those seed are extremely good for food. We’d all be healthier for that alone. It might not be the best way to get dollars from sun, but it is one of the best, yet it is disallowed like a taboo.

idrobinhood…right on…and don’t forget, the COTTON INDUSTRY! They would lose millions too. Not to mention how much money it cost to grow Cotton and how bad environmentally it is. It is the worst crop for pest control because it is so prone to pests and is very hard to control it other than pesticides, that is why organic cotton is so outrageously expensive/hard to grow.

My thoughts on the laws.
Corporations uses the laws so to push out and make money for there products.
example DuPont corporation has nylon rope, if there was hemp rope was made available to the market, hemp rope would win over nylon rope.
Another monopoly controlling company that wants control of the farm land and bio fuels (corn, soybean) there genetically modified seeds, The MANSONTO corporation would has losses in the $100s of millions if hemp bio fuels was being made.

LikeDislikeHmm…Are you …
Hmm…Are you really being totally honest without a little wink? Certain plants will not go to seed. Even when it was legal, it was common knowledge the flowers would give you a nice buzz. I have no idea why it’s an issue though, alcohol is far more destructive. The potential has already been shown regarding it’s varied uses in industry and if a few growers isolate some females, oh well.
