HEMP - The Cash Crop Coming to an American Farmer Near You

LEWISTON, N.Y. - April 24, 2018 - PRLog -- NEW YORK  Recognizing the economic windfall of the HEMP industry, Oregon and Kentucky Senators are crossing the isle to legalize hemp cultivation, after previous calls from the legislators on the Attorney General to reassure the industry that it wouldn't be hurt by Jeff Sessions' marijuana stance.

In a letter to DOJ Sessions last summer, Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) were among the senators informing the Attorney General that legal hemp research and production companies "have either had their personal and business accounts closed at financial institutions or are facing the possibility of losing them... due to the uncertainty of the continued legal status of the industrial hemp industry, and because the funds contained in the accounts are associated with industrial hemp."

Moreover, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) actioned his support of the hemp industry through the introduction of the Hemp Farming Act of 2018, which would de-list hemp as a controlled substance and define it as an agricultural commodity. Under this legislation, States would become the primary regulators of hemp and hemp farmers would be duly able to apply for crop insurance.

"It is far past time for Congress to pass this commonsense, bipartisan legislation to end the outrageous anti-hemp, anti-farmer and anti-jobs stigma that's been codified into law and is holding back growth in American agriculture jobs and our economy at large," said Ron Wyden (D-Orc) in a supportive statement. "Hemp products are made in this country, sold in this country and consumed in this country." "Senator McConnell, our colleagues and I are going to keep pushing to make sure that if Americans can buy hemp products at the local supermarket, American farmers can grow hemp in this country," he added.

"Our modest business relies heavily on domestically sourced 'Top Shelf' raw hemp suppliers to ensure our brand quality. In fact, being able to say Made in USA is a positive bonus amoungst our customer base." says Paul & Michelle Jeffs, Owners of The Cheeky Wolf Company based out of historical Lewiston, NY.

"Passage of this legislation will be a most appreciated boost to the hemp product business from both the regulatory and supply-chain quality standpoints." said Paul during a trade show presentation. "Recognizing that we are turning the 'appreciation' corner on hemp's health and environmental benefits, I foresee only positive out comes."

"By legalizing hemp and empowering states to conduct their own oversight plans, we can give the hemp industry the tools necessary to create jobs and new opportunities for farmers and manufacturers around the county," he said.

Jeff Merkley argued that it's "past time that we move beyond these outdated and frustrating restrictions on hemp farming in the United States."
"If we're selling hemp products in the United States, we should be growing hemp in the United States – it's good for jobs, good for our communities, and it's just common sense," he said.
