According to one advocate, Tom
McClain, the goal was to preserve the seed in order to avoid
contamination with the foxtail grass. This diaspore caused more
weeds than hemp in the field that Ryan
Loflin, a Springfield
farmer, planted back in May this year. Erik
Hunter, one of the founders of the Rocky Mountain Hemp
Association, was there gathering a sample to determine levels of
production and to figure out proper planning of the harvest.
"It was a pretty big learning experience. We learned quite a
bit," one source quoted Loflin.
Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc.
said, "I said it before and I'll say it again... this is a
monumental step for the industry. What we are all trying to get
people to understand is that this will finally unlock a clean
industrial revolution that will not only be economically sound, but
environmentally advantageous. And think of the jobs this will
create." The Huffington Post, in their recent article, stated,
"this harvest may be the symbolic first that restarts a
once-booming American industry, if other farmers choose to follow
Loflin's lead."
A new law signed last week by California's Governor, Jerry Brown, may also enable California farmers? to be able to finally grow
industrial hemp too. Supporters of the bill say industrial hemp is
a "$500 million industry in
California and is growing by 10%
annually."
Hemp, Inc.'s TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
Hemp, Inc. (OTC.PK: HEMP) seeks to benefit many constituencies,
not exploit or endanger any group of them. Thus, the
publicly-traded company believes in "upstreaming" of a portion of
profit from the marketing of their finished hemp goods back to its
originator. By Hemp, Inc. focusing on comprehensive investment
results?that is, with respect to performance along the interrelated
dimensions of people, planet, and profits? our triple bottom line
approach can be an important tool to support sustainability
goals.
