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.

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.

Hemp Plant Biomass Energy Value Page 19



Biofuel Energy, January 2012-There’s a New Biofuel Crop in Town Work by Agricultural Research Service scientists in Florence, South Carolina, suggests that farmers in the Southeast could use the tropical legume sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) in their crop rotations by harvesting the fast-growing annual for biofuel. In 2004, when there was ample rainfall, the resulting sunn hemp biomass yield exceeded 4.5 tons per acre. This is equivalent to 82.4 gigajoules of energy per acre—close to the energy contained in 620 gallons of gasoline and well in the ballpark of other bioenergy crops, which have yields of anywhere from 30 to 150 gigajoules per acre. The higher heating value of sunn hemp biomass exceeded that of switchgrass, Bermudagrass, reed canarygrass, and alfalfa. And although reduced rainfall resulted in lower hemp biomass yields in 2006, sunn hemp’s higher heating value for both study years was 4 to 5 percent greater than that of cowpea.
