I would be happy if I could raise industrial hemp on my farm.

Me too,that hemp still comes up where it was grown here
during ww2 for rope.

The stuff has been disapointing kids and grown-ups
trying to get a buzz off it ever since.

Not me tho/sarc

Industrial hemp used to be Missouri’s largest cash crop. You could make anything out of it. I’d consider getting into farming if they legalized growing it again. The clothes that can be made out of it are stronger than cotton and last longer. The ropes, the oils, the edible seeds, it’s a huge untapped market. Besides the fact the stuff grows, a lot, and you could get more than one crop a year and the stuff doesn’t need pesticides.

It’s a great way to cash in on the “organic” market and with a low overhead to boot.
