Happy Hemp Harvesting!

Well, there is actually quite a bit of difference between the Hemp World and the Medical Marijuana Planet to say the least!  But it still took the Hemp farmers by surprise back (1937) when there was significant confusion after the vote to criminalize the Demon Weed "Cannabis" included their crops of Hemp too! Woa to the American Hemp Industry!  Too bad, as a fiber enthusiast I wish I could convey to all the nice, superior feeling and heft of a good Hemp fabric in your hand!

But back to the current news here, we are all done! A VERY meager showing for all the labor, sweat and stress we dedicated to this crop for sure!  I believe we have just enough to see us through the winter, not a very good yield! It gives me a whole new perspective on the dedication of the people that do this for profit or for the co-ops that provide for the other people unable to do their own gardening!  The so called "commercial" grower has to be giving more than just to be in it for more than the money.  Just like growing my precious $75.00 per pound tomatoes gave me a whole new respect for the farmers that provide us with our daily veggies did before!


Veg On! Buds Up!
