"...as an answer to the state's agricultural woes."
Oh, Woe Is Me! They just harvested 500 acres of soybean around my little farm in the past week. According to our Ag Report, it's been one of the BEST soybean crops ever! Everyone made money this year.
And please...when you grow a crop like hemp how much productivity can you really bank on up here in the North? "Bank" being the profitable word here. Change the mindset of Americans, then change the laws, then make yourself a legal livelihood growing the stuff...if you can in this climate, Global Warming or not. If it was that marketable up here, it would already be mainstream, would it not? Like Wheat or Corn or Soybean.

Hippies. You know, I, too, don't care if people NEED to get high...but for Pete's Sake. Clean up your reputation as being lazy slackers and Woody Harrelson-wanna-bes! Get yourself some decent PR people and make me actually BELIEVE that growing pot is the salvo to all of my Ag-realted problems. Then maybe I'll grow it. Yeesh.
But good luck with that...The Smoke Gnatzies are p*ssed that Wisconsin is becoming a Tobacco State once again, as she was in the past. Get past the Smoke Gnatzies and it'll be Smooth Inhaling for all the Midwest Potheads out there, LOL!
