• hemp is not cannabis it does not have the THC (high causing chemical)it is primarily used in the textile industry for clothe and other like materials,it is gaining a rapid foothold on farms as a cash crop it requires very little care or fertilizers and is fairly easy to harvest.I have not heard of it having any benefits in the ethanol market,also corn is corn whether it is for human or animal consumption once a civilization makes a food source more important for a fuel source we are in big trouble.There are many other non food materials that can be used for ethanol that need to be developed like sugar beets and even sugar cane stalks 14% 1 Vote 29% 2 Votes
