No Surprise Sen Blunt Does Not Support Hemp

At Least one-out-of-two Senators supports Hemp Farming in Missouri.  I just learned via an email- see below-I just received from Senator Roy Blunt.  This really is no surprise because I've noticed that the Missouri Senators always seem to split the vote on most of the stuff that comes to vote in the Senate.

Mr Blunts reply did spark something in my mind when he brought up the

 Senator Roy Blunt does not support Hemp Farming in Missouri due to his:

Unfounded belief that Law Enforcement not being able to tell the difference between Hemp and Medical Cannabis.

This falls right inline with all Repukitans denial of things that would help America.  The total disregard that climate change is affecting the World is tops of my list of untruths and unfounded beliefs that are supported by the misinformation system straight from the Koch Brothers themselves.

This also makes me realize that maybe my note to his office did not have enough current information from Law Enforcement, Scientist, State Governors, and even his own partner-in-crime in the US Senate Kentuckys Own Senator Mitch McConnel.  Who has been the driver behind Kentucky's legalization of Hemp Farming.  

So here is a copy of what my next communication will be to Roy Blunts office with data and links to-

 Supporting evidence that Hemp is- easily Distinguishable from Medical Cannabis.

Here is Mr Blunts Reply to my original notification- I do like how he addresses me and keeps me in his email address book:

Dear Clean Energy not Oil, Coal, and Facked Gas Scott:

Thank you for contacting me regarding S. 134, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015.

As you know, S. 134 amends the Controlled Substances Act to remove industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana.  Previously, I have supported provisions in the Farm Bill and through appropriations that would permit State Departments of Agriculture to administer hemp pilot programs in states that have legalized industrial hemp.  

While I support a comprehensive agriculture policy including specialty crops, I have concerns that legalization of industrial hemp could have unintended consequences.  We must ensure that legalization of industrial hemp would not impede the ability of law enforcement agencies to enforce our drug laws effectively.   

Currently, S. 134 is pending in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Should this legislation come before the full Senate for consideration, I will carefully consider and be sure to keep your thoughts and concerns in mind. 

Again, thank you for contacting me. I look forward to continuing our conversation on Facebook and Twitter about the important issues facing Missouri and the country. I also encourage you to visit mywebsite to learn more about where I stand on the issues and sign-up for my e-newsletter.

Sincere regards,

Roy Blunt
United States Senator

Looks Like Sen McCaskill Supports Hemp Farming

Dear Mr. Scott,

Thank you for contacting me regarding industrial hemp and hemp farming.  I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond.

With my support, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79) pdf.  Commonly referred to as the Farm Bill, this legislation sets policy and funding levels for agriculture and nutrition programs for the next five years.  

The Farm Bill provides critical support to Missouri farmers and ranchers, protects nutrition support for low-income families and other Missourians in need, promotes conservation, and encourages research on biofuels that advance our energy independence, all while helping to reduce spending by $23 billion over the next ten years.

Within this comprehensive legislation, the 2014 Farm Bill included an amendment allowing legalized hemp production in some instances.  Specifically, the amendment allows State Agriculture Departments, colleges, and universities to grow hemp, defined as the non-drug oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis, for academic or agricultural research purposes, although it applies only to states where industrial hemp farming is already legal under state law.

As you may know, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon has also introduced the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015 (S. 134).  This bill would differentiate the definition of "hemp" from "marijuana" and would permit industrial hemp production based on state law.  I understand the many potential uses of hemp and will consider its benefits should legislation related to hemp farming be considered by the full Senate.

The Industrial Hemp Farming Act has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee where it awaits consideration.  Should this or similar legislation come to the Senate floor for a vote, I will be sure to keep your views in mind.

Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of further assistance to you on this or any other issue.

Sincerely,

Claire McCaskill
United States Senator

Looks Like Missouri Sen McCaskill Supports Hemp Farming

Inventions Are For Farmers not BigBusiness

Before I let some big company steal my Hemp Processing Inventions that are for the Farmers.  I will open source the invention to the World. I did not invent these inventions for big business to take the power away from the Farmer.

My inventions put the power in the Farmers hands by eliminating the:

 Multi Million Dollar Hemp Processing Facility costs that add to the price of the end materials, which are prohibitive for low price end product sales.  

My Inventions are not for some giant company to steal a Farmers rightful and much deserved income potential.  Which is why I've designed the Mobile Hemp Processing machines to work on existing Ag based machines that most farmers utilize in their daily activities.  

It all starts on the Farm.  

update Stage 1 of The Custom Designed & Fabricated Main Parts needed to modify existing 

Farm Machinery will cost between $5,000 - $15,000.

Prototype Seeks Funding

For everyone who has been waiting on an economical Hemp Field Processing Unit that you won't have to rob a bank for I have great news!

Hemp Farmers and Hemp Industry Organizations are going to have an option rather than purchasing a multi million dollar hemp processing facility.  MOhemp Energy mobile Hemp Harvesting and Processing equipment will allow people to get in the Hemp business on the cheap!

You will not have to spend Millions of $ Dollars $ to get into the Hemp business! 

 As quoted by one of the Start Up advisers: "Your invention could be the Holy Grail of the Hemp Industry."

Startup Lesson: Industry Players vs Non Industry People

One thing I've learned when talking to Hemp and Agriculture People vs those outside the business is: People in Agriculture understand Agriculture terms used in my startup pitch deck.

Here's a simple example:  I mentioned a drill the other day to a non ag person.  "He asked how big of a hole?"  When I mention a drill to an Ag person; they understand I'm talking about a seeder or planter that "puts the seeds into the ground".  The one simple word has very different meanings.

I also learned that it takes me more time to explain farming techniques and less time is spent on talking about my inventions or MOhemp Energy:

• such as crop rotation, 
• planting or harvesting are times often determined by weather conditions, 
• the difference between a combine or a harvester...

The greatest thing about pitching to Agriculture Industry Players is that they want to see Farmers succeed.  They understand that Farming is the most important industry in the World.  Farmers create the most treasured resource: Food.

Bringing It Home Movie Review by Scotty-MOhemp Energy

It was great to see the rockstars of the Industrial Hemp Industry that are revolutionizing the way Hemp is used as a sustainable and natural alternative to many of the chemical and oil based products on the market and on the store shelves.

I agree with Ms Anndrea Hermann that:

It is completely irrational that Farmers in the United States of America are not allowed to grow Industrial Hemp when we are importing Millions of dollars worth of Hemp products every year.

Hempcrete Healthy Buildings and were highlighted in six different parts of the movie with attention was given to USA's first Hempcrete Home in South Carolina built by Youtube Video Hemp Technologies, designed by Anthony Brenner of Healthy Home Consultant


Hemp Oil Business success featured an interview with Dr Bonners Magic Soap and others.  It was interesting to learn that the company David Bonner mentioned that the Dr Bonner Magic Soap business in 2000 had 15 employees and earned 6 Million dollars.  They had projected their company would be a 13 Million dollar company, after adding Hemp based products they have grown to a 43 Million Dollar Company.  They also talked about how the company had grown from 12 people working in the processing facility to 87 employees!

Hemp Clothing by Hemporium, and Pretty Birdie, Stephanie Teague highlighted how orders came in from all over the world for her custom made hemp based clothing, and how she orders her material from companies in China and Canada because she cannot buy hemp based clothing that is American Made.

Hemp Fabric benefits: 4 times UV and UVB Protection, 4 times wicking ability plus Antibacterial Properties

BRINGING IT HOME has been an important part of Vote Hemp's and Hemp History Week's advocacy campaign to educate consumers and lawmakers about industrial hemp's uses for healthy, sustainable products for nutrition, construction materials, bio-composites, textiles, body care and more and why policy change is needed to bring this beneficial crop back to all of America's farmers for a greener future.

About Vote Hemp Vote Hemp is a national, single-issue, non-profit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and a free market for industrial hemp, low-THC oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis, and to changes in current law to allow U.S. farmers to once again grow the crop.

It all starts on the Farm!  Paul Harvey says it best: 

And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker." So God made a farmer.

God said, "I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board." So God made a farmer.

"I need somebody with arms strong enough to rustle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to wait lunch until his wife's done feeding visiting ladies and tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon -- and mean it." So God made a farmer.

Industrial Hemp-It All Starts on a Farm!

God said, "I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt. And watch it die. Then dry his eyes and say, 'Maybe next year.' I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire, who can make harness out of haywire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And who, planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty-hour week by Tuesday noon, then, pain'n from 'tractor back,' put in another seventy-two hours." So God made a farmer.

God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor's place. So God made a farmer.

God said, "I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bails, yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-combed pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the broken leg of a meadow lark. It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight and not cut corners. 

Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk and replenish the self-feeder and finish a hard week's work with a five-mile drive to church.

"Somebody who'd bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh and then sigh, and then reply, with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life 'doing what dad does.'" So God made a farmer.

Missouri should be growing Industrial Hemp.  Look at how tall the plants grow.  Those 15 feet stalks are where the Hurd is located and is what compels me to get into the Industrial Hemp business.
