Hi, I have two major needs for growing of Industrial Hemp: One, Is to produce a Fiber that could replace the current Plastic Fiber that is being used to make Net Wrap for Large Round Forage Bails, this plastic Fiber does not decompose and gets lodged in the livestock's Rumen causing Death to the animal, Most producers have to cut this wrap off the Bails and dispose by burning, not good for our environment! Two, the more important issue for me would be to grow more standing forage for my livestock on Marginal land where it would; control weeds, improve soil, Habitat for wildlife, and reduce the need for Chemicals in our environment! Thanks for considering my inputs.
