Outside of Kentucky, the state of Missouri was the number two exporter of Industrial Hemp in the nineteenth century. Missouri Hemp played a role in the civil war in the Battle of Lexington when soldiers used the Hemp bales as cover. The canon balls could not pierce the dense Hemp fiber bales. Missouri also has a state park named after an Industrial Hemp business man: Oliver Anderson. He began in 1830 and by 1850 was yielding 60 bushels of hemp seed and 20 tons of Hemp.
Industrial Hemp is Missouri’s past and it is its future. It is time to stop being ashamed of it and move forward. In doing so, you will be helping the middle class and non-collegiate worker base. You will also help in Missouri farm sovereignty.
Grown in Missouri, Made in Missouri: Welcome to the future. Join us on March 17th and go green for all eternity.
