HEMP

Sir-It is obvious from the success of marijuana growing that hemp
crops will also grow very well. European countries allow hemp farming
and companies make profits yet their climatic conditions are often not
suitable for hemp farming. Our climate is great, so yields would be
significantly higher, therefore harvesting/processing costs would be
cheaper.

Hemp grown for seed would yield approximately 1000 kilos per hectare.
The machinery exists or can be adapted to plant, harvest, and separate
the seed, cost effectively.

At $3 per kilo a farmer could make a gross profit of $60,000 from 20
hectares.

Hemp seed can be eaten raw or toasted and processed into a wide
variety of foods. I have eaten 100 per cent hemp ice cream, cheese,
and milk and it is the most beautiful nutritious food I have tasted.
