A dim outlook for industrial hemp
“The legalization of hemp would benefit a few growers but it probably wouldn’t improve farm revenue for at least four or five years,” says Randy Fortenbery, the study’s lead author and a University of Wisconsin-Madison expert on agricultural markets and international trade. “Hemp appears to be slightly more profitable than traditional row crops but less profitable than specialty crops such as tobacco, fruits and vegetables.”

A double scoop of hemp cream, please
Not long after approving trial crops of industrial hemp for textiles, authorities are about to approve its use for icecreams, oils, muesli bars and other foods. It took 12 years of lobbying by supporters of an industrial hemp industry before licences were approved this year for trial crops. Yesterday, the Australia and New Zealand Food Authority began a process expected to lead to legal use of industrial hemp extracts in foods. It is calling for public comment on an application its board has recommended for approval. The authority said the application to use hemp had been “rigorously” scientifically assessed and did not raise public health or safety concerns.

Some growers of the region’s distinct burley have already turned to vegetables and fruits. Others are looking at everything from wine grapes to beer hops and even hemp, the relative of marijuana.

A truly cool hemp operation
Now they are on to something new, and this is what drew me to Killaloe. They are starting to manufacture hemp ice cream, made from the oil of organic vegan hemp seeds. They call it Christina’s Cool Hemp. To me, the chocolate version tastes just like chocolate ice cream. The vanilla, however, could use some improvement.

A world without hemp foods: Why should we care?
The US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has called for the removal of many hemp foods from American store shelves, giving February 6 as the deadline to destroy or remove the products from the US altogether. What is the reasoning behind these draconian measures? And why should we, the public, really care? Whether we consume hemp foods ourselves or not, there is a human rights issue involved when a government makes it illegal to eat an ancient, harmless food. Not to mention the loss of the health benefits of hemp seed based on its unique and valuable nutritional profile.

About hemp: It is not true that all fiber is created equal
It is not true that all fiber is created equal. The reader may ask, “Why grow hemp when kenaf and flax are legal today?” From an engineering standpoint, hemp has mechanical properties that are favorable and superior to those of either kenaf or flax.
