The American Hemp Start Up Program 2011

Written by Christopher J. Boucher

Hemp is considered the most strategic super crop ever grown for food,

fiber and clothing; AHSUP outlines the key components and logistics

for the revival of an Industrial hemp industry in the USA. This

outline is a blueprint for the establishment of a viable American Hemp

Industry that creates new jobs in a new green industry in the USA.

The Hemp Factory Start Up Plan:

1. Congress should immediately institute and fund a USA hemp program

for American farmers through the USDA and the Commodity Credit

Corporation (CCC). Remember that agriculture is essential to a strong

economy. And hemp, needs to be recognized as one of the most

sustainable and economically viable crops which can create core jobs

from the farm to the factory.

HERE IS THE PLAN

The US Government must take an active part in promoting and financing

loans for industrial Hemp through the USDA and other affiliate

agriculture programs including The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC),

a Government-owned and operated entity that was created to stabilize,

support, and protect farm income and farm commodity pricing, to

maintain balanced and adequate supplies of agricultural commodities,

and to aid in their orderly distribution.

In this capacity, the CCC, or other government entity, could regulate

the development, construction and operation of industrial facilities

to process hemp seeds for food, protein, and animal feed. Hemp fiber

mills which can used in the automotive (Currently Ford Motors uses

Canadian hemp fiber in automotive door panels), plastics,

construction, and clothing industries.

In order to facilitate a large-scale domestic production of hemp seed

and fiber, US farmers must also compete with mainly Chinese and

Canadian hemp farmers who supply 95% of the imported hemp products

into the USA.

According to the Natural Foods Industry Association, hemp seeds and

hemp products are the fastest growing new food category for 2009-2010.

They are considered a super food for protein and essential fatty acid

(EFA) intake. (Hemp oil has the highest ration of EFAÃ­s of any dietary

oil available on the market today).

The American Hemp Start Up Program (AHSUP) promotes the potential

production of the following acreage needed to establish a viable USA

industry.

50,000 acres of seeds to grow for production for food and health

cosmetics industries. One seed mill can process approx. 5,000 acres of

seed.

15,000 acres of fiber for the textile, automotive, paper and plastics

industries.

One fiber mill can process approx 10000 acres to (approx 40,000 tons

of raw hemp to operate a mill in 1 year.

According to our program 30-50 hemp processing mills would generate

up to 8,000 jobs from farm to industry.

The Hemp seeds you would need to start this program would be approx.

270,000-300,000 pounds of viable industrial hemp seed.

The different kinds of harvesting equipment used and

processing plants in Canada and China have been analyzed critically.

The most desired features of seed and fiber processing plants are

incorporated into AHSUP plan. Initially the core immediate plan is to

set up in a pilot mills in several States to be revised as necessary.

Clear observations have also been made into soil conditions in hemp

growing USA locations and on methods of seeding, harvesting retting

and seed handling legalities. Materials and publications made for use

in educating and training farmers, producers as well as plant

operators.

USA Farmers potential contracts to perform massive growing program:

California.- 25,830 acres, N Dakota.- 5,000 acres, Vermont- 4500

acres, New Mexico- 5000 acres, Maine- 5000 acres, Wisconsin- 3,679

acres,Kentucky- 5937 acres. These states have hemp legislation and are

a estimation based on state farmers support.

American Hemp Start Up Program (AHSUP) could be used as an

negotiating agency to help acquire and distribute hemp seed and hemp

fiber contracts. Help find farmers and USA companies to build and

acquire production facilities.

We have experienced hemp farmers and engineers to advise and

facilitate the success of this historical new eco-economy while

creating new jobs and enhancing the American family farmer.

Presidential Executive Order 12919; (USA must have a hemp seed supply)

http://www.acq.osd.mil/ip/docs/eo_12919-highlighted.pdf

(Part IX GENERAL PROVISIONS sec. 901 page 8 under food resources) was

signed in 1994 by former President Clinton. It is a protocol that

mandates FEMA has an ample supply of seeds in the US, including the

hemp seed, to insure the national food supply against natural or other

disasters. Unless hemp loses its identity as an agricultural commodity

or agricultural product.
