They just instituted the back ground checks this year in oregunYep. Same as 1diesel1, I have a license issued by the Colorado Department of Agriculture to grow industrial hemp - and they're not cheap, either. Mine was 550 this year.
On top of an FBI background check for the price of 60 bucks and the gas to get there and back...
Yeah I think the USDA and DEA pretty much demanded all states to do FBI background checks on all registrants by 2022.. We also have to have 100% of all registrants inspected by the state each year here in CO.. So much red tape and BS just to grow a damn plant. And then they want it to be pretty much THC free or they'll make you destroy the whole damn crop, too!They just instituted the back ground checks this year in oregun
Damn....Do they buy you a drink first, or just go straight to bending you over?Yeah I think the USDA and DEA pretty much demanded all states to do FBI background checks on all registrants by 2022..

No wonder CO only has 270 registrants so far this year.
There are a lot of options - there's brokers who will sell it for you, there's even a company out of Denver that will come out and harvest your plants, take it to storage and sell it for you, etc. etc. All for a price, of course. Some farmers farm just for CBD/CBG oil and farm it like corn, thousands and thousands of plants at a time. Some farmers farm for flower like the buds we all smoke. Some farmers farm for grain and fiber which again is similar to corn and pretty much gets baled.Pardon my ignorance but what is the supply chain? Do you grow it, harvest it and bail it up, and sell it to a processor? And hopefully make a few bucks.
They're even making hemp concrete and hemp cinderblocks for building houses and such. I think there's literally over 1,000 practical uses for hempTinctures, gummies, lotions there’s endless boundaries for uses.
There's grants available to hemp farmers but they're a pain in the ass to get and have strict rules on how you spend it - not really worth what they give either. Farm loans are a more common option people take. I for one am trying to operate with as little overhead as possible - I've heard of some folks sinking 10+ grand into a season only to break even or even end up making less than they spent.Interesting. Thanks for the replies. So being a legitimate farming business could actually open up avenues for government grants and subsidies? Or are these not available for hemp growers at the moment? Yeah my neighbor built a straw bale house. Rice straw. What is something else watching them put it up. Walls are like two or 2 1/2 feet thick and like r-60 Or something. Maybe Hemp bale Buildings someday. Keep up the good work!
Holy shit! I’ve owned two places with own well one 27’ deep and one 47’ both put in by hand ! LolI have to keep a close eye on my well. In my area we are the only ones with a well, all my neighbors south of me on my road have to haul water from a community well up north. My well is 623 feet deep! I really hope it doesn't dry up on us any time soon- we may not find another well on our land if it goes dry.
They can visit my attorney.Right on! If I was you I’d be prepared for a visit also.
