Just doing a little research and thought there might be some interest for the following:

In the past two decades, researchers at the USDA and various land grant universities and state agencies (for example, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, and Vermont) have conducted several feasibility and marketing studies. More recent available market reports indicate that the estimated gross value of hemp production per acre is about $21,000 from seeds and $12,500 from stalks. Studies by researchers in Canada and various state agencies provide a mostly positive market outlook for growing hemp, citing rising consumer demand and the potential range of product uses for hemp. Some state reports claim that if current restrictions on growing hemp in the United States were removed, agricultural producers in their states could benefit. A 2008 study reported that acreage under cultivation in Canada, “while still showing significant annual fluctuations, is now regarded as being on a strong upward trend.” Most studies generally note that hemp “has such a diversity of possible uses, [and] is being promoted by extremely enthusiastic market developers.” Other studies highlight certain production advantages associated with hemp or acknowledge hemp’s benefits as a rotational crop or further claim that hemp may be less environmentally degrading than other agricultural crops. Other studies claim certain production advantages to hemp growers, such as relatively low input and management requirements.

Based on the $21,000 per acre value of hemp seed and $12,500 per acre value of stalks, the typical 25 acre hemp farm can yield sales of $837,500 per year. The current 25 acre farm size is only limited by research grants. When farms grow beyond that size, the DEA can get involved simply because cannabis is still considered a controlled substance. Thus, one can easily see how profitable hemp farming can be, and compared to other agricultural commodities, hemp requires less chemical use and far less if any fertilizer. Also, hemp does not require irrigation systems because hemp grows even in draught condition.
Hemp Commodity Industries is a US-based corporation that supports the growing and processing of hemp without restriction across the United States. We are a broker, producer, and supplier of raw hemp. Our goal is to make hemp available across the country to enable companies to produce fully Made in America hemp products. In doing so, we are creating a new industry centered on hemp as a fast-growing and renewable resource. We are dedicated to creating jobs across the country, focusing on areas impacted heavily by the decline of the foresting and steel industries. We champion legislation leading to the emancipation of the hemp plant at the local, state and federal levels.
HCI fosters American Grown Innovation® using renewable and fast-growing hemp as a replacement for finite and slow-growing resources to improve existing products as well as create new products.
HCI was founded by scientists and business professionals dedicated to implementing hemp as a primary component of major industrial applications. As scientists, we understand the inherent strengths of the plant and its superiority over traditional products. As business professionals, we are motivated by the value those strengths bring to the products we use every day as consumers. We are proliferating a new industry founded on an ancient crop, and HCI is leading the way in innovation. We are the future scientists, evangelists, and innovators of this industry. We are the future of hemp.
HCI’s VISION
Utilizing every part of the plant, from the seeds planted to the waste produce from processing, HCI takes a truly holistic approach to hemp agriculture. We are the only full-lifecycle company, having created the commercial need for each part of the plant, leaving nothing behind. No waste is the ancient approach, and HCI is bringing that to the future.
MISSION
Put American People back to Work using our native resources in a manner that is not just environmentally responsible but environmentally replenishing, and transition our country from a dependent and debt-ridden importer to a self-sufficient and profitable exporter.
