Animal Feed Might Just Go to Pot -- And That's a Good Thing

Hemp Industries Association- Anyone who follows the hemp market is aware of how prices have collapsed under the weight of too much supply and not enough demand. But what if demand increased not from new recreational pot users and health conscious consumers, but from animal feed providers?

It might be time to look beyond CBD for hemp stocks as the future may instead be at the feed lots.

States that led in hemp acreage in 2019, including Tennessee, Colorado, and Oregon, saw significant declines in 2020. The states that did see growth were either those that had small pilot projects in 2019 or just started their programs in 2020. https://t.co/u4WmzZKuVl pic.twitter.com/GdKIp6i9Fi

CBD -Cannabinoids: Sex and Gender

The FDA seminar, “CBD and Other Cannabinoids: Sex and Gender Differences in Use and Responses,” was organized by the agency’s Office of Women’s Health and featured FDA staff MDs, Ph. Ds and non-FDA academic and institutional research scientists. Other observations from the seminar indicate the current path for the FDA:

• Research is not only likely to find that CBD is not harmful, but also reveal many benefits that can be identified and warranted scientifically, and a few uses that should be avoided.
• Standards are needed to help inform the public about the use and benefits of CBD in proper concentrations and formulations; speakers expressed frustration that “without regulation there is a lot of junk out there.”Some speakers stressed that “prohibition laws inhibit research,” citing examples with alcohol prohibition in the 1920s and other prohibited substances since then, including cannabis. There was acknowledgment that “some legal substances (alcohol and cigarettes) are more harmful than many illegal substances.”
• Both FDA and non-FDA experts noted some potential harms from very large doses of CBD and some concerns on how its use might affect pregnancy and lactation, as well as, interestingly, male reproductive health.
• Existing studies tend to acknowledge anecdotally assumed benefits. Further studies should be encouraged to check anecdotal claims regarding pain management, anxiety, sleep disorders and other problems. Scientists urged basic research to understand proper use and dosing.

The Great Minds at MU missed this one

The readers of MOhemp have already read the published info and so much about growing hemp successfully, its hard to believe that bookworms at Mizzou aka MU wasted money by trying to reinvent the Hemp Wheel by using existing farming practices to grow hemp.  

General observations from the 2019 University of Missouri demonstrations and studies include: 

•  Herbicide carryover can be an issue in fields 
• No-till in late June/early July did not work very well 
• Need for good seed to soil contact 
• High soil temperatures can be an issue 
• Narrow rows more productive, at least when planted late 
• Weed pressure was significant at certain locations
