Farmers the Gov will pay you to grow hemp
I want the USA government to pay farmers to Grow Hemp and here is how it can be done!

Farm Filter Phytoremediation Strips
The US Dept Ag offered these Suggestions for the design, intended uses and definitions on Filter Strips |
Phytoremediation is the key part of filter strips to filter and remove farm chemical runoff. Scotty, MOhemp
USDepartment of Agriculture on Filter Strips:
- Primary Purposes: To remove sediment and other pollutants from runoff by filtration, deposition, infiltration, or plant uptake.
- Design Elements: Strips are planted cross-slope or on the contour downhill from the source of sediment or pollutants. They must be sufficiently wide to achieve primary purposes.
- Vegetation Requirements: Adapted to the soil and climate of the planting site. Tolerant of sediment deposition and pollutant-laden runoff. Moderate to aggressive development to occupy the site quickly.
Filter strips, also referred to as buffer strips, are small, edge-of-field tracts of vegetated land that are used to reduce the contamination of surface water.

There are several types of filter strips including:
- vegetative filter strips,
- forested riparian buffers, and
- wind buffers.
- This helps to prevent eutrophication and associated fishkills and loss of biodiversity.
- The use of filter strips is very common in developed countries and is required by law in some areas.
- The implementation and maintenance of filter strips is inexpensive and their use has been shown to be cost effective.
MOhemp is seeking Landowners who are interested in utilizing a filter strip.

Farmers let's grow Hemp Phytoremediation Buffer Strips and let the USDA split the financial costs!
Scotty MOhemp
USDA shared: Conservation buffers are small areas or strips of land in permanent vegetation, designed to intercept pollutants and manage other environmental concerns.
Buffers include: riparian buffers, filter strips, grassed waterways, shelterbelts, windbreaks, living snow fences, contour grass strips, cross-wind trap strips, shallow water areas for wildlife, field borders, alley cropping, herbaceous wind barriers, and vegetative barriers.
Strategically placed buffer strips in the agricultural landscape can effectively mitigate the movement of sediment, nutrients, and pesticides within farm fields and from farm fields. When coupled with appropriate upland treatments, including crop residue management, nutrient management, integrated pest management, winter cover crops, and similar management practices and technologies, buffer strips should allow farmers to achieve a measure of economic and environmental sustainability in their operations. Buffer strips can also enhance wildlife habitat and protect biodiversity.
Benefits of Buffers
Conservation buffers slow water runoff, trap sediment, and enhance infiltration within the buffer. Buffers also trap fertilizers, pesticides, pathogens, and heavy metals, and they help trap snow and cut down on blowing soil in areas with strong winds. In addition, they protect livestock and wildlife from harsh weather and buildings from wind damage. If properly installed and maintained, they have the capacity to:- remove up to 50 percent or more of nutrients and pesticides.
- remove up to 60 percent or more of certain pathogens.
- remove up to 75 percent or more of sediment.
Conservation buffers help stabilize a stream and reduce its water temperature. Buffers also offer a setback distance for agricultural chemical use from water sources.
Like the trim on a house makes the house look better, well-planned conservation buffers improve the appearance of a farm or ranch. If used as part of a comprehensive conservation system, buffers will make good use of areas that often should not be cropped.
Key Messages
1. Conservation buffers work environmentally because they:
- Control soil erosion by both wind and water.
- Improve soil quality.
- Improve water quality by removing sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, pathogens, and other potential contaminants from runoff.
- Enhance fish and wildlife habitat.
- Reduce flooding.
- Conserve energy.
- Protect buildings, roads, and livestock.
- Conserve biodiversity.
- Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)
- Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
- Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP)
- general CRP, Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)
- Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP).
3. Conservation buffers may help you meet Federal, state, or local pollution control requirements.
4. Many state and local governments--and even some private organizations--offer additional financial incentives to install conservation buffers.
5. Conservation buffers are a visual demonstration of your commitment to land stewardship.

Facebook now censoring Hemp

CYNTHIANA, Ky. (WKYT/WYMT) Farmers ready to grow and sell hemp thanks to the farm bill may have trouble doing so thanks to Facebook.
Hemp-product sellers across the country are being cut off from one of their most effective means of awareness and advertisement because Facebook has a policy that does not allow promoting prescription drugs.
Hemp is not a prescription but Facebook has denied hemp-grower requests to have their pages republished.
Business owners are confused and frustrated by the setback, especially after a national bill was signed at the end of 2018 which opened legal hold-backs for hemp farmers and their hemp products.
"We really supported the passage of the Farm Bill, in hoping that it would move this industry forward, and now it seems to be working the other way," said Jason Marshall, the Rocky Ridge Hemp Company owner.
The decision is already taking its toll on the Rocky Ridge Hemp Company located in Cynthiana.
