$HEMP Truck Scale Purchased

“There was a whole week of excavating to ensure the ground was flat and leveled for the truck scale. Our crew poured concrete for a week. The truck scale has a 25-ft approach ramp and a 25-ft exit ramp. The electronic digital indicator, as you see in thevideo, is now on the outside of our building,” says Schmitt.

“Nothing can stop the hemp revolution,” said Craig Perlowin, Secretary of Hemp, Inc. “We are making excellent progress. From the silo being erected to the truck scale being installed and being used daily, crews are relentlessly moving forward through rain, sleet, or snow to finish North America’s largest hemp processing facility.” In Hemp, Inc.’s previous video update, you can see the concrete being poured for the 60x16x2-ft thick silo pad near the end of the video.

Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. ( OTC PINK : HEMP ) continued, “Hemp, Inc. will remain at the forefront of the industrial hemp industry with the largest commercial decorticating plant in the United States. Let’s face it: The benefits of industrial hemp are undeniable and this industry is continuing to grow by leaps and bounds. Our company is already positioned to meet the demands of having hemp processed as more and more states pass industrial hemp bills.”

In the last month alone, the Louisiana House Agriculture Committee has recently approved two bills to the House floor, HB1085 and HB1099. House bill 1085, sponsored by Representative Jack Montoucet, authorizes institutions of higher education to develop a pilot program to study the growth, cultivation or marketing of industrial hemp for agricultural or academic research. If passed, the bills would allow universities in the state to research the use of the fiber from the hemp plant for use in textiles and other industries and growing marijuana for medicinal use.

The Ohio Ballot Board certified the proposed constitutional amendment known as the “Medicinal Cannabis and Industrial Hemp Amendment” to potentially go on Ohio’s ballot as a single issue. The amendment would allow farmers to grow industrial hemp, as well as allow adults (age 21 and older) to grow, transport, share and use marijuana for medicinal purposes.

In Pennsylvania, the industrial hemp bill has been working its way through the House and Senate last week and is believed to soon be legal in Pennsylvania for the first time in decades. A representative from Gov. Tom Wolf’s office was quoted saying, “The (hemp) industry is growing, and allowing its growth in Pennsylvania would contribute to important research and the commonwealth’s economy.”

Alabama House and Senate passed an industrial hemp bill that would authorize the Department of Agriculture and Industries to administer an industrial hemp research program. House Bill (HB) 393 and Senate Bill (SB) 347 state an institution of higher learning may apply for a permit or waiver to grow industrial hemp for the manufacture of hemp products. The industrial hemp bill would also revise the definition of marijuana in the controlled substances law to exclude industrial hemp.

Missouri’s House of Representatives passed industrial hemp bill HB 2038 which is set to legalize and regulate the cultivation of industrial hemp in the state of Missouri. According to the industrial hemp bill, industrial hemp production, possession, and commerce in industrial hemp commodities and products shall be permitted in the state and subject to regulation by the Department of Agriculture, including compliance with an industrial hemp plant monitoring system. The industrial hemp bill, passed with a majority vote of 123-29, was approved last week just as Hemp, Inc. completed the installation of its steel silo at their hemp processing facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina.
