Industrial hemp: North Carolina poises to exploit an old new crop
by Chantal Allam — January 4, 2019
DURHAM – From oil to textiles – and even prosthetics – developments in hemp-based innovations and products are accelerating at warp speed. And some experts say North Carolina is poised to lead the way.
“We have a history of growing specialty crops – tobacco, sweet potatoes, cotton. There’s that knowledge base with farmers,” said Paul Ulanch, executive director of Crop Commercialization at NC Biotechnology Center. “That’s why we are going to see North Carolina be one of the leaders in production. The other great thing is [our] textiles heritage. You’re not going to find that level of expertise elsewhere.”
Ulanch was among the panelists of hemp experts and entrepreneurs speaking at LaunchBio’s Larger than Life Science meetup at The Chesterfield on Thursday night.
They were discussing the trends in production and commercialization since Congress gave states permission to run test programs for growing and marketing industrial hemp in the farm bill of 2014.
Hemp is a form of cannabis. But unlike its more familiar sibling marijuana, this industrial version is specially bred to produce high levels of a valuable extract called cannabidiol (CBD) oil without producing the “high” of marijuana’s active ingredient, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Since then, North Carolina has become one of the fastest- growing states in hemp production. In 2017, there were 1300 permitted acres. That number jumped to 4000 for this year, said Scott Propheter, co-founder of Criticality, who was also on the panel.
However, producing hemp is not without its challenges.
“That’s one thing my program is taking a look at – labeling of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides to make sure the products can be appropriately labelled,” said Ulanch. “They’ve never been labelled for use on industrial hemp. Researchers, primarily at NC State, are leading the way to make that happen.”
HEMP, A HERITAGE CROP
Apparently, North Carolina and hemp go way back. As panelist Guy Carpenter noted, the Tuscarora Indians were native to the state back in the 1700s and were well-known as “hemp gatherers”.
While other Native American tribes were wearing animal skins, they were “processing it, spinning it into yarn and weaving textiles from it”.
“It goes to show that hemp has a natural heritage to our state, our people and our industry,” said Carpenter, who runs Bear Fibers Inc. out of Wilmington, and is focused on hemp fiber processing and product development.
“Clearly there is a lot of growth in the area of agriculture for CBD [cannabidiol, a compound of cannabis that has significant medical benefits]. I’m just a little cautious of that. I’m more of a proponent of fiber hemp.
“A lot of farmers that have idle land, or can’t make the investment that is required to make CBD hemp, can grow hemp for textile fiber and grow dozens, if not hundreds, of acres. We have a real place being a partner with cotton, and making North Carolina known not only for being an agrarian state, but a textile state.
“We are very glad to have an opportunity to work with hemp and take advantage of that wonderful plant again.”
At present, he added, much of the plant is being wasted, its full potential unrealized.
“The industry doesn’t exist here yet. It’s going to take a lot of people who are focused, and keep their eyes on the ball and business, and make it sustainable by making it profitable and developing the industries to help benefit one another.”
HEMP FOR PROSTHETICS
Wilmington-based entrepreneur Kyle Trivisonn was also on hand to discuss his latest hemp-based innovation.
A board-certified prosthetic technician by trade, he’s dedicated to building prosthetic limbs from the fibers of the hemp plant at his startup Eco TEK Industries.
“Tradionally, the industry standard has been carbon fiber for some years. But I decided, let’s try hemp,” he told the 60-strong crowd.
“Carbon fiber is expensive; it’s also got some serious health implications and hazards that go along with it. My thought process was to look at textile hemp and fiber and create a matrix of materials that do the same job.”
So far, it seems to be working.
“My good friend Mark just finished a half marathon last weekend, and he’s been wearing this hemp socket that I’ve made,” he said. “We’ve had good results.”

New farm bill signed into law opens up for more hemp growth in North Carolina
POSTED 3:32 PM, JANUARY 3, 2019, BY CHAD TUCKER
BURLINGTON, N.C. – Inside a former textile plant is an age-old fiber turning up again. Industrial hemp is one of the fastest growing agricultural products in our state.
"It blends so easily with cotton and it provides a natural blend that easily replaces cotton polyester blends," says Guy Carpenter, who joined Patrique Veille in starting Bare Fibers, a company making hemp cotton blend fabric. "We hope it really opens it up to the farmers."
Thanks to the federal farm bill signed into law just before Christmas, all 50 states are now allowed to produce hemp. The new law allows farmers to grow the product with aid from government programs and crop insurance providers.
"The goal is to produce fabrics ... 70/30 cotton/hemp blend, " said Veille, as he showed samples currently made in China. "We are bringing in material to start having textile mills produce yarns here in North Carolina and South Carolina."
They just need more farmers. Currently most hemp is being grown east of I-95 in North Carolina.
"We are looking for agriculture to develop and we are looking at tens of thousands of acres," he said. "The fit is really comfortable to come here, an opportunity open to us now that legislation has passed.

aaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Happy new year!
GREEN $HEMP DAY!
GREEN $HEMP WEEK!
GREEN $HEMP MONTH!
GREEN $HEMP YEAR!
WHAT A GREAT GREEN CLOSE TO A GREAT PRODUCTIVE YEAR FOR HEMP INC AND INDUSTRY.
HEMP IS 100% OFFICIALLY LEGAL.
FIRST RECORDED GREEN YEAR IN COMPANY'S RECENT OPERATIONAL HISTORY, WITH QTR OVER QTR REVENUE GROWTH OF ABOUT 50%.
ROUGHLY 77,000AC OF HEMP PLANTED IN 2018.... BUT IN 2019...
WHO'S GONNA PROCESS ALL THE HEMP?
$HEMP
Defamation is defamation.
Truth is, in fact, truth.
If Bruce feels his reputation has been damaged, or he or his company have suffered any undue losses as a result of the illegal behavior of others, then he might press charges.
Again, I'd be looking at guys like ALAN BROCHSTEIN at NEW CANNABIS VENTURES (aka, "New Cannabis LIARS").
I'm sure iHub would cooperate, hand over any EVIDENCE upon summons. Plenty of evidence.
Having second thoughts?

Wouldn't want to mislead anyone. I have dignity, like Bruce and HEMP.
Probably just start with ALAN BROCHSTEIN.
Would be an easy OPEN AND SHUT on that turd, with all the mud he's smeared in this sector, specifically on Hemp during AND after his FAILED Hemp call prior to 2014.
He and "New Cannabis LIARS" probably house a whole room full of cronies just pounding away with factless-based garbage.
DO YOU REMEMBER?
Bruce says screw the shareholders, they should have known better.
Exactly the kind of investors Bruce is targeting to sell shares.
Stickie this post! 100% on point statements from King of Cannabis, CEO of Hemp Inc.
Great post!
sssshhhhhhh.... I can hear the floodgates opening....
HEMPY NEW YEAR!
WE GET IT<><><>NO ONE IS MAKING<>A<>MARKET FOR HEMP
Except for its shareholders, and "brokers and dealers" effectively behaving as MM.
It's that simple.
Yes, there is a difference between a traditional Market Maker ["MM"] and BROKER and/or DEALER.
The FACT that we are seeing brokers such as Citadel and Cantor shows there are serious firms behind this, most likely with "friends".

NORTH CAROLINA INDUSTRIAL HEMP REGISTERED PROCESSORS (DECEMBER 2018)
https://www.ncagr.gov/hemp/documents/Registered_Processors_docDec18.pdf
What if one of the brokers knows someone with a lot of homes?
Already been around the world.
Hemp Inc has been global for years. Just haven't seen a whole lot internationally from them lately, as they have been full steam on developing the domestic infrastructure.
Which "MM" facilitating the borrowing and shorting of gifted shares?
lol
Still zero evidence. Pretrial almost over. Wrapping up soon.
Good luck at trial with hearsay, misstatements, and zero factual matter in support of basis of complaint.
lol
To keep in mind:
“It took $20 million in three and a half years to build that plant. Now that it’s built, North Carolina becomes the inheritors of that infrastructure,” Perlowin said. “It is going to be hard for farmers anywhere else that don’t have a local processing center to process the hemp. I am glad we did it. North Carolina is a great state and can grow a lot of hemp.”

NORTH CAROLINA INDUSTRIAL HEMP REGISTERED PROCESSORS (DECEMBER 2018)

Carolina’s next cash crop?: Farm bill will add hemp into more growers’ rotation
Posted Wednesday, December 26, 2018 8:51 pm
By Drew C. Wilson
dwilson@wilsontimes.com
252-265-7818
With Congress’ passage of last week’s farm bill that decriminalized the hemp plant, North Carolina farmers will have the choice of adding a needed money crop to their rotations.
“I haven’t read the whole thing. It’s 800 pages and 6 inches thick, but I think it’s going to be a good thing for North Carolina,” said Mann Mullen, who has experimented with growing hemp and processing it.
Mullen is a farmer and the owner of tobacco warehouses in Wilson and Bunn.
President Trump signed the bill, also known as the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, on Dec. 20.
Since 1937, hemp has been illegal. It has been lumped in with its cousin marijuana on a federal schedule list of controlled substances and chemicals.
North Carolina was one of a handful of states that permitted experimental hemp growing and processing in 2014 when it established the North Carolina Industrial Hemp Pilot Program administered through the N.C. Industrial Hemp Commission.
Mullen is one of the growing number of registered growers and processors in the state.
“I would like for it to be something that North Carolina could thrive on for years to come, and I think we can because I think the climate and the soil is just right,” Mullen said. “North Carolina, just like tobacco, has the perfect type of soil. I think it will be good.”
LEGAL STATUS WILL HELP
Tony Finch, a Nash County farmer, has grown kenaf, a cousin of hemp, for its fiber. He’s grown hemp for its cannabidiol, also known as CBD, an extract from the flowering tops that is used medicinally.
Finch said hemp’s new legal status should alleviate a whole lot of little issues.
One is operating expenses and the ability to get a loan.
“A lot of financial institutions won’t touch it because it was on the scheduled substance list. It wouldn’t allow you to borrow money,” Finch said.
Finch and Mullen hope the new legal status will help in getting crop insurance.
“You can tie of a lot of money in hemp and for some reason, a natural disaster comes along and you lose the crop, a man can stand to lose a lot of money,” Finch said.
Finch said people will generally be a whole lot less nervous about growing the crop.
“There are a lot of people still a little bit skeptical about that because it’s hemp, and they still say it was a scheduled substance,” Finch said. “I think that gave some people reservations about growing the crop. I am hoping that it will help with interstate commerce on the stuff as far as what you would call transporting the seed and plant parts, the flower for the CBD, transporting across state lines. That will make that very simple. No more issues there.”
Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp Inc., whose Spring Hope facility is the largest hemp processor in the western hemisphere, said he’s excited by the removal of legal issues that have, up to now, hampered development of the industry.
“It took $20 million in three and a half years to build that plant. Now that it’s built, North Carolina becomes the inheritors of that infrastructure,” Perlowin said. “It is going to be hard for farmers anywhere else that don’t have a local processing center to process the hemp. I am glad we did it. North Carolina is a great state and can grow a lot of hemp.”
Perlowin said he has been looking forward to hemp legalization for a long time.
“Now that it is here, it is sort of an ecstatic moment for the entire industry,” Perlowin said.
Perlowin said the legality issue for hemp will change the industry “drastically.”
“We are going to be growing hemp now just like corn or soybeans or peanuts, tobacco or cotton,” Perlowin said.
Perlowin agreed that the ability to get crop insurance will be a major change for farmers.
“That really, really made a difference in North Carolina last year,” Perlowin said. “I don’t even want to tell you how many acres were destroyed by the hurricane. If we had crop insurance, all of those farmers would not have been hurt as bad as they got hurt last year. We can plant with confidence and security that we can actually have crop insurance.”
“We are going to shoot for 20,000 acres this year in North Carolina collectively,” Perlowin said.
Perlowin said Mullen is going to play a big part of that.
GOOD OUTLOOK FOR n.C.
Last year, Mullen used one of his warehouses as a drying facility for hemp.
“I hope we can have a processor and put up an extrication facility in one of my places,” Mullen said. “Right now we are trying to contract growers to grow for us and the reason being is I want to build that trust with the grower that we are going to do the right thing before big business gets into it.”
Mullen wants to develop his own market and be able to weather the storm.
“Right now I believe it’s going to be a race to the bottom. Prices are high, but I have got a feeling that’s one of the downfalls of passing the farm bill is it opens up the floodgate for everyone to grow, and that’s not a bad thing, except the high prices that we have seen will probably equalize, and that’s OK too.”
Mullen said there is so much out there that has not been discovered about hemp, its qualities and what it can do, all of the medicinal and food purposes.
“A lot of those things haven’t been discovered yet because it has been illegal,” Mullen said. “So we are sitting on the edge of technology to take over now. I would like for it to be something that the farmers could grow for years to come.”
Finch said next year he plans to grow kenaf for its fiber and hemp for the CBD.
“I can make more money with 50 acres of hemp than I can 300 acres of kenaf,” Finch said.
Growing hemp for the money it makes will help him pay bills and grow other traditional crops like sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans and wheat.
“Those grain crops don’t make big money, but they are excellent for the land from a rotational aspect, and all that grain goes to, more or less, stay in the local community and goes into feed for the chickens and hogs and turkeys in our area,” Finch said. “I think hemp is not just about making money for the farm. It is the whole economy in the state.”
Based on what he has seen, Finch thinks hemp will do well in North Carolina.
“We have got a little bit of learning to do still, but it’s going to do really well,” Finch said. “The second year I did a lot better than my first year. Maybe I will do a little better on my third year. It’s going to take just a little while, but it will grow well in North Carolina.”

That "article" is garbage, full of misinformstion, produced by a confirmed, long-running critic of CEO and company, who failed to call the last run.
Do you know Alan Brochstien?
That tird writes articles for seeking alpha for $$$.
He was calling for Hemp's demise for months and months. Haven't seen him since his failed call, when he advised the public to avoid huge massive thousand percent gains before the massive 2014 run.
Haven't seen him since. I know he has moved his operation to an online magazine, covering stocks in the cannabis sector and doing very poor, very low standard analysis, then writes opinionated stories much like the ones you see here.
Wouldn't be surprised if he's upgraded to a team of cronies that visit us regularly.
I thought that SA article held up to the AB standard imo, and actually labels him a "contributor".
HEMP INC rock'n and roll'n. 2019 it gets real.
The ability to export, too! Plus tax write-offs.
Some are still underestimating the power of the Farm Bill. Beginning Jan 1, we "officially" have a new industry.
Well, not "new" new. Hemp has been around forever, and was once commercially legal to produced.
Except now we have drones, solar power, and CRISPR. There are way, way many more things we can do with hemp in today's age. I mean, endless. Pretty much everything around us. Takes only a few short months to produce, and - boom - renewable resource, harvest after harvest.
See, back in the 1940's, hardly anyone wanted anything to do with hemp. That was back in a time when people thought interracial marriage was a sin, and AC came in the form of an box full of ice.
Bruce came from the apex. He was there when pot started going in the 70's, and he sure now is there again when pot was legalized just a few days ago.
We are talking decades of expert knowledge. When it comes to cannabis distribution, who do you think knows the "ins and outs"? Who had the billion dollar business then... and who is back at it doing billion dollar business again?
Who is gonna process all the hemp?
Not sure. Don't have court minutes.
WHO'S GONNA PROCESS ALL THE HEMP?

Like Lord Varys, Master of Whisperers. Straight from the scriptures.
READ THE DOCKET! JUST A FEW SELECT WORDS POSTED WITHOUT CONTEXT IN THE HEMPINC TRADITION
All there.
I know how long it was extended, cause lucky ol' me has the docket right IN FRONT OF MY EYES.
Give you a hint: not 2020.
Ironic? Freudian slip?
OH FAKE NEWS AND FRIENDS!
No idea what you're talking about...
You read the last docket?
STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER DEADLINE
LINK?!
LOL, I believe you previously posted some chick
From Vedder said the case would die.....in 2016, LMAO.
Making serious accusations which carry hefty penalties against a CEO and others without evidence from the onset, knowing they only had a few weeks left to file? And the WEAKEST cases take the longest to resolve. 3 years ongoing isn't "open and shut". Time kills all cases.
Here in AMERICA we do innocent until proven otherwise, and burden of proof is on the accuser, and that's just what they are: accusations.
Looks like Epling's ex-business partners doing some backstabbing, imo... Probably those guys from Oxford... Yudell... they mad?
Case should be over and done before 2nd half '19. They are prepping for trial.
