Hemp Plant Protection

Update-MOhemp has started and received Level 2 approval for the process to certify and protect a strain of Hemp that has been growing in Missouri with the USDA.

USDA PVPA Seal

Congratulations MOhemp,

You have successfully completed the necessary requirements to upgrade your USDA eAuthentication account to Level 2 access. You now have the ability to conduct official electronic business transactions online with the USDA. 

This strain of Hemp has been growing wild in Rural Missouri for many years. The Hemp strain maybe from when the USA government requested farmers to grow hemp long long long ago.

Could this stain of wild hemp be considered a Landrace
(Pure cannabis strains (also called landraces or purebreds) have developed in its natural environment and has never been crossed with any other strain but inbred through many, many generations. These varieties are very stable and present very few variations - if any - from one plant to another.) variety that may even go back to one of America's Founding Father Thomas Jefferson days?

Its obvious that when Hemp was promoted on the $10 Bill this plant was important to the USA.

Something I learned from reading AMERICAN HEMP: The back of the original $10 Bill had a picture of farmers plowing #hemp! Happy #420day. I'm sure everyone in Canada is having the time of their lives right now. #amreading #Happy420 #cannabis #mmot #legalize #saturdaymorning pic.twitter.com/f1Vf3O3mH2

Hemp Supercapacitors Bring Green Tech To A Higher Level

Outperforming standard supercapacitors up to 200 percent, hemp-based supercapacitors could be the future of green technology.

The article pointed some additional facts about Hemp Lignin Supercapacitors:

• Today’s supercapacitors commonly use graphene, a carbon nanomaterial to create electrodes...graphene costs up to $2000 per gram.

• The [Hemp] solution produces not only a cheaper material — $5000 per ton — but one that performs up to four times better than graphene. 

• hemp research is ready to take a big leap. Someday, we could be driving hemp-powered cars and using phones that are powered by hemp!

• if hemp supercapacitors are adapted to a larger scale, we might see a shift in the infrastructure of the entire country.

• The possibilities for this greener, cleaner, and sustainable crop seem limitless! With legal hemp, countless industries stand to benefit. Article

Hemp-Based Batteries Could Change the Way We Store Energy Forever

Scotty, MOhemp Energy has not figured out how to make a battery (yet) but he has figured out how to remove the raw material from the Hemp plant that is mentioned in this article below and is currently seeking pilot study collaborators who are interested in bringing this technology to market.

Hemp is the most universally useful plant we have at our disposal. The history of mankind’s use of hemp can be traced way back in time to between about 5000 – 7000 BC.

Industrial hemp and hemp seed could transform the economy of the world States in a positive and beneficial way, and therefore should be exploited to its full potential, especially relating to energy storage.

David Mitlin, Ph.D., explains that supercapacitors are energy storage devices that have huge potential to transform the way future electronics are powered. Unlike today’s rechargeable batteries, which sip up energy over several hours, supercapacitors can charge and discharge within seconds. But they normally can’t store nearly as much energy as batteries, an important property known as energy density. One approach researchers are taking to boost supercapacitors’ energy density is to design better electrodes. Mitlin’s team has figured out how to make them from certain hemp fibers — and they can hold as much energy as the current top contender: graphene.

Mitlin says

"Our device’s electrochemical performance is on par with or better than graphene-based devices. The key advantage is that our electrodes are made from biowaste using a simple process, and therefore, are much cheaper than graphene.”

Adviser Spoke-I was all ears

This isn't a word by word quote in the order we talked about things, its just how my mind seemed to examine and digest the wisdom before I make a financial mistake and how I've solved a few of the issues needed to address and overcome that he mentions in re to the MOhemp Energy Mobile Processing Station.

(1) the USA market is not ready for mass use from end users of Industrial Hemp in America.

(2) Competition from outside USA where labor is cheap in production of (example) Hemp fibers or hurds makes for a tough sale in USA. Especially since we don't manufacture much and demand is low right now.

(3) Hemp is so disruptive to so many businesses our Govt would rather pass Medical cannabis than Industrial Hemp -which is completely backwards to conventional wisdom.

(4) Hemp products are/is expensive in USA. If for example Hemp became legal to grow Nationwide the price of seeds would go sky high due to supply and demand and there wouldn't be enough seeds to meet this demand.

(5) There are existing Canadian buyers of Hemp Hurds but the price is so low because of the existing Lumber supplies that are fulfilling and meeting this need right now- is what prohibits a more widespread use of Hemp OSB panels.

He mentioned more but I feel that is enough background from someone who has 15 plus years more experience than myself in the Hemp and Flax Industry.

Now I see why it is important to have Advisers to a startup and I realized a few things that I have done wrong in presenting my startup business plan, that has been evolving night and day as I put the final pieces of the puzzle together.

• I need to do a better job of explaining the MOhemp Energy system and processes of the Mobile Processing System that eliminates the $14,000,000 Hemp processing plant- such as the one planned in Oklahoma.

• The Numbers not the Inventions need to clear and understandable.

• I have to have end product users (pre-arranged). More than likely this is supplying an existing manufacture a raw material.

in the next MOhemp Blog Post I will go in details on

how I have considered and overcame all his suggestions

by the Mobile Hemp Processing System. The only thing

I've yet to solve is the end product buyers.

They will be the last piece needed to the puzzle.

Here are some more pieces to the big puzzle on why Industrial Hemp is gaining ground in the USA

Hemp For Victory 2016

Big clue today July 31, 2016: Ukraine- lots of Hemp seeds, needs income. Russia, cut aid to Ukraine. I'm putting 2+2 together.

I predict: Hemp For Victory Round 2, Spring Planting 2016.

Bringing back Industrial Hemp will jump-start American jobs and Small business and Make it disruptive to the existing biz as usual for American Big Companies- who also are the Republicans Repukitans base for the $$$ polluting the Politics of the USA.

Taking power away from big businesses who are and did sell out the American workers by outsourcing jobs overseas. President Obama realizes this and also realizes that by legalizing both Medical and Industrial Cannabis he is ultimately giving the people a fighting chance against the powers who have keep the average Americans struggling and under the thumb of Big Business Interest and overshadowed their voices in Washington and Life in the real World.

Will Hemp For Victory Round 2 be the cure all for America's Ills? Maybe not all but it will damn sure help a few. And I personally can't wait to work directly with the Farmers who will lead the resurgence of American Productivity and jobs that all start on the Farm! The added benefits will be the lessening of the grip that big business has on Washington.

Remember all these new Industrial Hemp and Medical Cannabis ventures are small new disruptive businesses that will take the power or $ money $ out of the big business coffers.

Hemp For Victory Round 2 coming spring 2016- in time for planting season. Are you prepared to meet this new demand?

I am Scotty MOhemp Energy.

“We are now involved in trying to figure out ways in which we might be able to use the industrial hemp seeds that are created in the Ukraine in the U.S.,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said yesterday in an interview.

MOhemp Energy 5 Income Producing Avenues of the Mobile Hemp Processing Equipment

Here's how MOhemp Energy will make Money

without the expense of the big ticket 14 Million investment of the Home Base Processing Facility by utilizing Mobile Hemp Processing Equipment.  Thus allowing MOhemp Energy Field Processing Units the flexibility to get into the Hemp business for less money making it affordable and profitable for the Farmers and the Hemp Industry.

Hemp Farming Infrastructure Lessons

I've been watching and taking a few notes on the Kentucky and European Industrial Hemp Farmers and Hemp processing plants and the business lessons they are learning on the Fly.

This MOhemp Energy blog post will compare its business plan against the lack of planning of the Kentucky hemp farmers are now dealing with.

The snippets of information from hemp.com highlight how easily the Hemp Plants grow but then what?  Without the infrastructure (hemp processing plant) they're dead in the water as far as immediate income potential. 

MOhemp by working directly with Farmers in the growing, harvesting, and processing the Raw Hemp Materials into actual Products for use eliminates the Kentucky Lack of Hemp Infrastructure. 

Here are the snippets from the Hemp.com site that backup my claim:
          "There is still no successful infrastructure to allow local area farmers and land owners the distribution networks they need to supply commercial hemp product companies with their industrial hemp crop.
              ...the hemp crops have begun to flourish at a mind-blowing rate. The industrial hemp stalks have now grown from 6 feet to a whopping 16 feet in just two months...
                “It’s exciting,” University of Kentucky plant researcher David Williams said. “It’s new. It has potential... plans to harvest the industrial hemp crop in September and compare its growth to the 12 other varieties of hemp he has planted. “I think we can grow larger plants with a full growing season,”
             At another industrial hemp plot, Williams says he is very happy with his 7 to 8 foot plants, exclaiming, “We did have one little dry spell after planting, but have not irrigated this crop, so it’s doing quite well,” As you can read in hemp news, the crop doesn’t take much to grow and maintain. Like a weed, it will virtually grow anywhere and in any type of soil. Williams also said he wishes to experiment with fertilizers and herbicides. “This is just a baby step this year…It’s a tiny, tiny step in a very positive direction, but there’s lots that we need to know.” "

Statewide Farming with MOHemp

Scotty writes- MOhemp can be a successful venture on a smaller scale.  Per the Oregon Study and what the Colorado hemp growers have accomplished in the past few years (see preceding blog posts).  It is possible to make money in the Industrial Hemp business.

What differentiates MOhemp from other business models is the total Farm-to-Market approach for the finished goods.  And the reasoning behind the importance of building and operation of the MOhemp Hemp processing facility and its Statewide approach that enlists Farmers statewide.

This is part if the quandary that I'm dealing with. 
1-I've received an offer to operate and manage a hemp farm in Arizona. 
2-I've also received investment and business solicitation from outside the USA.
3-I could grow Industrial Hemp on a small farm.

To truly make a difference in cutting pollution will require: more than one small farms production of hemp seeds for nonpolluting biodiesel and energy efficient building products. 

I'll admit a small scale hemp operation will have benefits that a large scale hemp business would entail.  But then I would really only be helping myself.  I wouldn't be helping Missouri Farmers statewide grow their own non polluting Fuel. And or- I wouldn't be building more than 1 energy efficient home per year. 

I truly want to make a difference on a grand scale-  Jobs, Income, Pollution Free Energy, Green Buildings for more than just myself.  Which is why I'm seeking partners and investors for MOhemp.
