Incorrect Numbers sricket
Import's are at $600+ million USD in 2016
Your point is irrelevant to the US production of hemp.
The crop can't economically compete with any country including Canada.
It has zero to do with military.
36 states have either approved or are in the process or approving hemp for growing.
10 states have been able to grow since 2014, Those states are Colorado, Washington, California, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont and West Virginia.
Colorado, and Oregon have had and 3 years of harvest-and its bad news so far.
Kentucky's program is all underwritten by Education and grants, only now by farmners who highest and best use is selling seed due to no supply. That profit center ENDS this year, as there will be a GLUT of certified seed next year. JUST LIKE CANADA went through.
Vermont didn't plant enough to matter, and growing HEMP nationwide from 2015-2016 was actually DOWN in total acres in the USA
Anything else I my do for you sir?
