ValStilwell's insight:
It is good to find examples of how well mainstream could embrace the hemp topic. It's so helpful! Industrial hemp is a fine example of a society embracing industry surfacing amidst the current muck. I believe we're going to see nice shift for a sustainable, broad-reaching, easily adoptable, family supportable, earth-friendly, industry.

One of Oregon's first hemp farmers says a lack of seed is making it tough to get going. Josephine County Commissioner Cheryl Walker says that fertile seed is expensive and hard to come by, because the federal government prohibits imports. Harvesting machinery is expensive, and there is no...
ValStilwell's insight:
Due to lack of seed... what did they expect? This is a 3-Star Well Duh! The next challenge will be to bring in seed that grows normal size plants rather than the stunted ones from Europe. The plants have been hybridized to short stalks for processing... try again - bring back the normal size plants.

Logan Yonavjak (@Loganyon) makes a case for allowing farmers in the United States to grow hemp. Industrial hemp was once a dominant crop on the American landscape. This hardy and renewable resource (one of the earliest domesticated plants known, with roots dating back to the Neolothic Age in China) was refined [...]
ValStilwell's insight:
Why is this incredible plant illegal? Because many policymakers believe that by legalizing hemp they are legalizing marijuana, which is not true. Canada, Britain, France, Germany, and Spain, along with over twenty other countries, cultivate and process industrial hemp without affecting the enforcement of marijuana laws. Reminds me of Sarah Palin who says she can see Russia from her back porch... they don't brain so good
