Comments on: USDA Approves Florida’s State Hemp Program, Growing Begins As Early As April 27 http://www.northescambia.com/2020/04/usda-approves-florida%e2%80%99s-state-hemp-program-growing-begins-as-early-as-april-27 Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Mon, 06 Apr 2026 19:24:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Taylor http://www.northescambia.com/2020/04/usda-approves-florida%e2%80%99s-state-hemp-program-growing-begins-as-early-as-april-27/comment-page-1#comment-412776 David Taylor Mon, 20 Apr 2020 23:03:59 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=399697#comment-412776 It is about time we return to allowing hemp to be grown. Hemp makes the best rope for naval uses, great cloth, etc. Morning lines made from hemp do not snap back with a whiplash like a rubber band when they fail. I will forever recall the Navy training videos that showed the loss of sailors lives due to failed nylon mooring lines. Camp makes a good rotation crop and produces four times the paper per acre then trees. It is about time we return to allowing hemp to be grown.

This is industrial hemp. It's a great sustainable product used to make rope, clothes, paper etc. It produces much better than trees and keeps our farmers farming. This is not drugs.

Although the Hemp program is great for the farmers but I hope they don’t lose sight on the produce the Americans need for there daily food. Although the Hemp program will help the farmers recover some of the money they lost but we still have to be able to count on the American Farmers for our produce and not having to rely on other country’s for our food. Thanks And GOD BLESS AMERICA....... I think it’s great it’s been hard on the farmers through this time we’re all in.
