Don't let up.  The public servant says one thing and does another.  We must continue to push for Hemp farming in America.  If a public servant wants to sponsor a bill, then let them know it is a serious endeavor.  Don't let up!!

Peace in 2014 and beyond.

Hemp Construction in Missouri Postponed

For the past three months I have been taking level of interest for the Midwest corridor in regards to people who wished to take training in using industrial hemp for construction.  It is a standard practice in New Zealand and other countries but is relatively unknown here; which is why I wanted to train people to use it.

Unfortunately I have not received enough interest to justify the enormous cost of the training.  I had eight people contact me and declared that they had the money and time to invest in the training.  That number needed to double and then some to make it financially approachable.  I did everything I could to keep the cost as low as possible, but this was directly tied to the number of participants.

I will keep the data sheets that I have collected.  If anyone else is interested please contact me and I will keep you on the list.  I will update those interested every six months starting now about the possibility of the training.

If the numbers increase I will try to give everyone a three month advance notice to aid in the planning.

Thank you for your support of industrial hemp.

Keep up the fight!!

Industrial Hemp construction training in Missouri

Midwest, Mid America, and Central Missouri Preliminary Notice

This is a notice to discover the level of interest for training in Industrial Hemp construction.  The options are a day long lecture series or a three day long hands-on (theory to application).  The training would likely take place in Missouri and would be fee based.  The more involved the lower the fee.

You can pay the fee as an individual or you can get a group rate if you are an established construction company.

Your background is not as crucial as your level of interest.  I am asking for serious inquiries only.  The committment must be complete for this to become a reality.

If you are serious about Industrial Hemp construction please contact the Missouri Hemp Network at

The actual time of the training is going to be established and coordinated with other similar events in America.  This will be situated and set at a later time when interest in such an event has met the threshold.

Thank you

South Carolina Senate Bill 389 goes to State House

For the first time in a long time, Industrial Hemp has been given a chance in the state of South Carolina.  Today, Senate Bill 389 passed in the state senate and is now going to the state house.  The bill would remove Industrial Hemp from the controlled substance act and allow South Carolina farmers the ability to cultivate the cash crop.

Republicans Kevin Bryant of Anderson and Lee Bright of Spartanburg sponsored the bill in the Senate.  This is a huge victory for southern farmers if it gets through.

Go Hemp and live in Truth!!

Hit the button and help Hemp grow

Hello People,

It is that time of year again.  It is never a good time to ask for donations; especially in this kind of economy, but it must be done.  The work is important for us and those that will come after us.  If you donate, as always, this is what you will be funding.

1.  Fees to enter various social events like fairs, conventions, Earth day, and other earth friendly farmer's markets.

2.  Cost of mailing those items that cannot be emailed as PDF.

3.  Transportation of industrial hemp items from social event to social event.

4.  Marketing strategies to continue the education of the people of Missouri about Industrial Hemp.

5.  Aid in making purchases for future new products for display to help connect customers to companies that produce industrial hemp final products.

Fundraising is key to success.  It is not the only variable, but it is a big one.  Help make 2014 a great year for industrial hemp.

The button for donations is at the top left hand corner of the website.  Or you can follow this link.

Thanks for all of your support.

Farm Bill and Industrial Hemp

The Farm Bill passed the U.S. House by a vote of 251 to 166. Section 7606, Legitimacy of Industrial Hemp Research, is in the final bill. That is the good news.

The main issue is access to seed. The federal government has stated it will leave these states alone, but they do not mention access to seed. Moving seed over state borders is still illegal. Please contact your local senator and rep and get the conversation started. 

Infrastructure of the Hemp industry is the foundation to success!!
