Monday, August 09, 2004 Expert dismisses hemp production hopesAustralian Broadcasting Corporation A University of Tasmania agronomist says there is little hope hemp can be grown commercially in the ACT (Australian Capital Territory). The Legislative Assembly has passed a bill from the Opposition’s Jacqui Burke approving the commercial production of hemp. Ms Burke says the change aims to encourage alternatives for regenerating land destroyed by last year’s bushfires. However, Dr Neville Mendham says successful hemp crops are unlikely because of the ACT’s cooler climate, limited irrigation and rocky terrain. “It really is more of a crop where you’d think of growing corn or maize like along the river flats with some irrigation rather than in the dry old banks and things, so I would think it would be of some value in the farming areas but nobody’s going to be able to grow it where there used to be sort of pine trees on rocky banks,” he said.
