Editorial: Again I see that an effort is under way to promote hemp farming locally. Again I feel compelled to set the record straight regarding certain statements made in an article appearing in the April 30 Herald-Whig.

Transcript of speech given by Ned Behrensmeyer to Illinois Governor Ryan, Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Hampton, and attendees.
Global Hemp was able to obtain a copy of this letter that was distributed by Illinois State Police. This is an internal memo that is pure propaganda. As an informed reader can note, most all points made are false. The Illinois State Police issued this memo as they were officially opposed to the first Illinois Industrial Hemp Bill. However, the second bill added that the study to be conducted on industrial hemp would include a study to see what effect industrial hemp cultivation would have regarding law enforcement. After this portion was added to the second bill, the Illinois State Police officially dropped their opposition to the bill to become neutral on the bill, neither supporting or opposing.
Industrial hemp advocates will hold a meeting in Motueka next week to discuss producing trial crops in the area. Motueka Employment and Small Business Centre board member Pat O’Shea said the group would meet once a month to discuss marketing, uses for industrial hemp and barriers to its production.
