Hemp, Inc.'s First Hemp Harvest in North Carolina Currently Underway - Seite 2

To see the 1-minute video updates of this Hemp University educational symposium, go to Bruce Perlowin's personal Facebook page and scroll down to the posts between September 30 and October 4, 2017. "We had to stop selling tickets, just like in the first three events, because we were over capacity. We originally planned for only 100 attendees but there were over 140 people in attendance. We're expecting an even larger crowd at the next Hemp University educational symposium, scheduled for December 2, 2017, of 300 to 420 attendees. Of course, we plan to hold it at a much larger venue. We strongly encourage you to buy your tickets early. We will definitely sell out and this isn't marketing hype," says Perlowin.

The Company previously announced its plan to grow 3,000 acres of hemp and kenaf in North Carolina, however, the Drug Enforcement Agency delayed giving the state of North Carolina their hemp permit, thus, farmers were not able to get seed in time for this year's planting.

"The delay in getting the green light to start planting negatively affected the amount of acres we believed would yield a successful crop," said David Schmitt, COO of Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC. "As a result, we scaled back our plan from planting 3,000 acres to 550 acres. (This is still a very substantial 2017 crop.) Currently, we plan to plant 3,000 to 10,000 acres in the spring of 2018. This does not affect our plant's productivity because we have approximately 18,000,000 pounds of kenaf in inventory that we have been aggressively processing 5 to 6 days a week." (To see part of the kenaf inventory, go to Perlowin's personal Facebook page and scroll down to August 30th, August 11th, and July 24th.)

"We are very proud to work with local farmers to help them capture the financial benefits of cultivating these highly valuable and sustainable crops which will help ensure the stability of the family farm for generations to come," said Perlowin. "We are additionally pleased to see our efforts gain increased media exposure as we continue to spread our message about the opportunities this new clean, green agricultural and industrial American revolution is providing for Americans throughout our country."
