Description:
Congress,
We, the undersigned, support the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007 (H.R. 3037).
Environmentally-friendly industrial hemp production is a shining example of the sustainable farming and renewable energy the Farm Bill could encourage in US agriculture. Planting industrial hemp is a way to control erosion, eliminate pesticide use, and conserve water usage. Industrial hemp contains mere traces of THC, and hemp, grown in other countries such as Canada, is already found here in clothes, lotions, snack bars, car door panels, insulation and more.
This is just practical agriculture. Our farmers are desperate for something that can make them some money.
