Sure, it’s possible, but practical and sustainable is a different story. There’s no endless market for hemp or hemp products. There’s no need to be so desperate that you’d want to move millions of gallons of water, totally unnecessary and a waste of resources. More shade houses etc means more expenses and less profits. Canada, the main supplier of hemp and hemp products to the USA has cut back on hemp production a few times over the years. Overproduction means lower prices for farmers. Have any idea what it costs to cover five acres with shade cloth? Have any idea what happens to that shade cloth when a desert wind (monsoon) comes up? Have any idea how long a hoop house like the ones Hempinc had assembled in Oregon would last in a harsh desert environment? Not practical or sustainable. Start pulling hundreds of thousands of gallons of water out of desert wells and another can of worms is opened. Crap water needing expensive conditioning and neighbors wells going dry and lawsuits flying. And permits for drilling wells is a major expense as is drilling wells if Nevada permits it. Waters not free, especially in the desert.
