Hemp Inc (HEMP)

Did NC Farmers really pay $4.20 LB for hemp seed?

At sowing rates of 60-80lbs an acre ( tight fiber planting rate)

Holy smokes--that puts input costs over $500/acre--looking a $600/00, without any pesticide or herbicide ( not much will likely be needed this year)

But

They planted TOO late.

Fibre hemp plants will grow to 2-4 meters tall without branching. In dense plantings (i.e.: seed drilled) the bottom leaves fall off due to lack of sunlight and the male plants die back after shedding pollen, generally 4-5 weeks into the growing cycle, lasting approx. 1 week.

BUT!!!!
The sun will trigger the Flowering stage in just 5 days, (June 21--its a long day plant-did you look it up?) and they haven't even pollinated yet.

Oh my-my. Gailm Knows.
