I took a lil time to read up with regards to the LOI (Letter of Intent) to work with a Native Comanche Indian Family of Oklahoma. posting some of what I found and reason for my viewpoint that is JMHO and could be off base
I do after further research agree Jerry just might be onto something with the Comanche Indian Family waters ( According to a report published by Transparency Market Research, the bottled water industry was valued at $157 billion in 2013 and is expected to reach $279 billion by 2020. ) but am somewhat apprehensive with current conditions opinions as well as acceptance especially of Oklahoma to potentially grow hemp in the state with prolly the harshest weed laws in USA (Oklahoma, has some of the strictest marijuana laws in the nation. A first-offense misdemeanor conviction for possession could land you a $1,000 fine or a year in jail. Don’t get caught again, either — a second conviction is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison) let alone hemp. I was under impression after Log spoke with Jerry at SH Meet we were looking to Colorado for potential growing and is legal today in that state
Regarding the pertaining "Also contained in the LOI agreement that is in place is to grow and produce hemp on a 157 acre parcel of the Comanche family land. There is an option to increase the size of the parcel as the need arises. "
Here's the States take on Hemp taken from their state Gov page excerpt below - https://www.ok.gov/obndd/faqs.html
#6 Should farmers be allowed to grow hemp (marijuana) and use it as fiber, thus achieving environmental benefits?
When farmers could do this in the early twentieth century in the U.S., no one did. If it is such a good idea, why aren't other countries around the world doing this? Even if Congress granted the supposed benefits of "hemp as fiber," the costs of such a program would still clearly outweight the benefits. It is clear that groups pushing for the legalization of "hemp for fiber" are simply looking for a loop hole in the law so they can legally grow and smoke marijuana. Don't be fooled!

Also regarding growing hemp on Indian Family land this just happened last month close to me and why I questioned that after reading - as I have just seen gov (DEA) take action locally:

All above is JMHO and just sharing where my concerns are -- currently believe water could be big - real big addition to our bev business - but will remain apprehensive with regards to growing hemp in Oklahoma ( even on Tribal family land) anytime soon
