Why hemp?
- Get more value out of every planted acre - 20 - 30% more over canola.
- World hemp markets are rising domestically and globally with multiple revenue streams possible from each part of the plant.
- Hemp is a short-season crop - Hemp can mature in as little as 90 to 100 days; it’s drought-tolerant and is well suited to the Canadian prairies.
- Hemp cleans the soil. Hemp can be grown with minimal use of fertilizers or pesticides and is considered an ideal rotation crop to break up disease cycles associated with other crops.
- Hemp cleans the air. One hectare of industrial hemp can absorb 15 tonnes of CO2 per. Hemp's rapid growth makes it one of the fastest CO2-to-biomass conversion tools available.
