Hemp, Inc. Applauds States for Implementing and Increasing Industrial Hemp Production as Market Demand Soars

Spring Hope, NC, Sept. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE --  (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today the company applauds states such as Kansas, Wisconsin, Oregon and Nevada for taking steps towards reinvigorating the burgeoning hemp industry by issuing licenses for the growing of industrial hemp. According to a recent  by the Brightfield Group, the hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) market alone could hit $22 billion by 2022.

Kansas will soon have its  of industrial hemp in decades following the passage of a law by the Kansas Legislature that legalizes the growing of hemp for research purposes. Once the  hemp producer in the U.S., Wisconsin just harvested its  and is expected to resurge as one of the largest producers of industrial hemp in the country. Meanwhile, Nevada’s hemp production is expanding rapidly with an  from 11 growers planting 319 acres in 2016, to 32 growers planning to plant 718 acres in 2018. Oregon went from issuing 12 hemp growers licenses in 2015, to an astounding  in 2017.

Hemp, Inc. recently  that the company entered into a majority ownership agreement for an Oregon hemp cultivation and processing company with JNV Farms LLC to meet the demands of the rapidly growing industry. Hemp, Inc. also operates a state-of-the-art 85,000 square foot hemp processing and manufacturing facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina, which has been operational since August 2017.

“It is incredible to see state governments working proactively to ensure hemp production can be an option for farmers in states that rely so heavily on their agricultural economies,” said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. “We are thrilled to see Kansas, Wisconsin, Oregon and Nevada expanding their infrastructures and policies concerning hemp. Hemp, Inc. is seizing opportunities to expand its industrial hemp production throughout the U.S. as we continue to be on the forefront of this rapidly evolving industry.”

Industrial hemp is expected to bring economic benefit to states relying heavily on their agricultural economy. Hemp was long a major crop in the United States, and there are notably  in the nation that have legalized hemp, which has over 50,000 uses. The U.S. Congress included a pathway to hemp growing in the 2014 Farm Bill, which allows states to run pilot programs to research its viability for commercial production. The Hemp Farming Act in the  is expected to federally legalize hemp before the current Farm Bill expires Sept. 30, 2018.

“As we continue to execute our strategic vision to expand our footprint across the U.S. (and the world), we are able to diversify our portfolio to include markets beyond our headquarters in North Carolina, allowing us to create increased value for our shareholders,” said Perlowin.  Hemp, Inc. is helping to build the industrial hemp infrastructure that was basically non-existent in America. And five years later, it’s still in its infancy as our nation, gradually, embraces industrial hemp as a new emerging multi-trillion dollar industrial agricultural green revolution. Hemp, Inc.’s focus has been on building now six hemp infrastructures, Divisions One through Six (the 6th Division just launched):

Division One – The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure

Division Two – The Hemp Extraction Infrastructure

Division Three – The Hemp Farming Infrastructure

Division Four – The Hemp Educational Infrastructure

Division Five – The Hemp Marketing Infrastructure

Division Six - Accessories, Products and Services

Division Six is the company’s newest division to be formed which focuses on the sale of hemp accessories such as the sale of extractors, storage bags, containers,  fertilizer, soil amendments, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, balers, greenhouses, and greenhouse equipment; the drying, trimming, curing, storing and brokering for other farmers; and ultimately anything else a hemp farmer may need to be successful.

Moreover, Hemp, Inc.’s strategic hemp growing partner, Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc., has a 500-acre Veteran Village Kins Community in Golden Valley, Arizona. The Veteran Village Kins Community is designed to grow hemp and produce cannabidiol (CBD) products to benefit veterans as well as generate revenue for Hemp, Inc., the Veteran Village, and individual veterans living in the community. Already a $100 million industry, the CBD market is expected to grow over 700% and balloon to $2.1 billion by 2020.

For a more complete description on the Veteran Village Kins Community, read the following, modified, October 24, 2017 press release, Hemp, Inc. Announces Strategic Hemp Growing Partner "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc." Completes Final Site Plan Blueprints, below: 

 has announced that its strategic growing partner, "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.", has completed its final site plan blueprints for its 500-acre site in Golden Valley, Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV). The site plan was submitted to the Mohave County Building Department for final review. The Company is also in the final stages of completing the necessary infrastructure to support an off-grid, renewable, energy system. With the solar equipment in place, the site's solar power operation will be completed in the next days.

As soon as the live streaming video cameras are up and operational, the world can actually see the way the Veteran Village Kins Community is designed and watch it being built. According to Perlowin, the basic framework or overall plan of the Veteran Village Kins Communities is to create a holistic healing and learning center that is designed to educate and heal veterans with PSTD, alcoholism, meth addiction, opioid addiction, and other psychological conditions while at the same time training them on the numerous aspects of being part of the emerging multi-billion dollar hemp industry. 

We will also be building hemp-growing communities for other groups such as "Abused" Women & Children Village Kins Communities, the "Orphaned" Children Village Kins Communities, "Homeless" Village Kins Communities and the "Healers" Village Kins Communities (the healers are professionals who are knowledgeable in the modalities to treat these traumatized groups).  These particular communities are all synergistically aligned to work simultaneously supporting each other.

For example, the "Healers" heal the traumatized veterans and women & children; the women support orphan children and orphan children want to see people living in homes and not homeless.  Thus, a portion of the hemp grown in each community goes to create and support another community, giving everybody a sense of giving back and helping others as they help themselves. This circles back to the healers who also work to heal the veterans and the other traumatized groups. This is the economic foundation on how the sale of the hemp products operates as a "quantum economic matrix" or an example of "symbiotic economics" which is more complex than this brief description allows.

Dwight Jory, the Project Manager for the "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," said, "We are very happy with the progress. Our Kins Community is really beginning to come together." In anticipation of planting to begin during the spring, 300 acres have been fenced, 16 overnight trailer park sites are under construction, and six 40x40-ft organic vegetable gardens have been planted and are currently producing food and kenaf, according to Jory. These organic gardens double as experimental growing modules using an entire array of different growing technologies to see which modalities grow the best in a desert environment. As for the 6 geodesic domes mentioned in an earlier press release, 1 is structurally complete with only the electrical and plumbing to be completed. The rest are on site awaiting final site plan approval.

"We are now accepting volunteers who have expressed an interest in helping to build the first Kins Community for our veterans," said Jory. Those interested in making the first hemp growing CBD-producing "Veteran Village Kins Community" become a reality should contact Ms. Sandra Williams via email ( ).

One thousand trees, on 36 of the 500-acres, have also been planted, with an additional 1,000 trees on order. The "Veteran Village Kins Community" will include a 100,000-square foot GMP compliant, central processing plant, a state-of-the-art testing laboratory, and various health and wellness centers to support veterans who may have psychological, emotional or health issues.

"As Hemp, Inc. positions itself on the forefront of America's industrial hemp revolution, we see our partnership with 'Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.' being paramount in supporting the small family farm movement that we are confident will reshape the American landscape," said Perlowin. "As we work toward getting our eco-village up and running in Arizona, we are also aggressively scouting strategic locations in other states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Giving veterans and other Americans a place to learn new skills and take part in this multi-billion-dollar hemp CBD market is very exciting. It's a big part of our mission to give back.  Recently we have expanded our Kins Community concept internationally focusing, but not limited to, Israel, New Zealand, Canada, Africa, and Uruguay." 

According to Perlowin, we hope to have 50 "master hemp growers" working on their first Veteran Village Kins Community in Arizona. To date, we have growers from Oregon, Colorado, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nevada and, Arizona who have expressed an interest in pursuing a joint venture with Hemp, Inc. to each grow industrial hemp on 5 of the 300 fenced acres in Arizona. Perlowin says he'll call this "The Great United American Hemp Project."  Any grower having an interest in pursuing a joint venture on 5 of the 300 fenced in acres in Arizona should contact Project Manager Dwight Jory. Or, anyone interested in attending the 2 - 7-day hands-on hempcrete house building should contact Dwight Jory as well. (Dates to be determined.)
