I grow hemp solely for the purposes of making paper and rope. Everything else, is discarded.

I know several farmers with an easy 1000 acres combined....They're still growing corn and soy bean.

 

[c ray]

there's still a demand for hemp seed in Canada, at least 10,000 acres more needs to be planted to meet current demand.. seed (grain) that meets food grade spec is currently buying for $1.70/lb..
yields are 500-2000+ lbs acre..

I think you guys missed the OPs point.....

I think you guys missed the OPs point.....

No...not at all..if your intention is to seed tweeds crop...great idea...but if your gonna grow hemp for profit...not a great idea

 

[c ray]

1000 acre of hemp will yield around 1,000,000 lbs grain, with a gross worth of about $1.7 million.. sounds fairly lucrative to me..

sadly.. and thankfully.. You're very wrong...but hey.. You're not a farmer.

and the JOKE was to start up beside Tweeed

 

[Jackal69]

I think most of us got the joke .... did it need to be said twice ... I suppose LOL
Well if you were farming hemp I guess you could use pretty much everything eh
Seeds... stock. You would need to source a buyer for the stem/stock
Stuck to be growing near one.... specially down wind

Im very wrong? Prove it....

There's a whole lot of field around me and there is no hemp growing in any of it.

 

[redi jedi]

And its not what hemp is worth...its who will buy it. Thats the biggest hurdle regarding hemp...there isnt a large market for it..yet

 

[redi jedi]

Hempola is the only company I know of that buys hemp in ON..
