The US at the time ruled the Phillipines which produced Manilla hemp, from a completely different plant related to the pineapple and which can be grown only in the tropics. This was much cheaper to produce than real hemp which was much stronger for rope making. However the change of ships from sail to steam and the introduction of steel ropes reduced the demand for vegetable cordage of any kind,
0:57 It's up to 6 times stronger than steel? I am sure this is true by some parameter but just word vomited is this manner is meaningless and disingenuous.
DUHHHHH ITS WAS USED TO MAKE SAILS AND THE UNIFORMS IN WORLD WAR TWO IT USED TO BE LEGAL BUT THE GOVT COULDNT MAKE MONEY ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY FOLLOW THE MONEY
Crikey. Considering the history we have been through regarding the cannabis plant over the past 60 odd years, it seems bizarre that it is now seen as a wonder plant.
The value of growing industrial hemp extends beyond its uses; the plant's ability to grow in polluted soils and capacity for scavenging heavy metal pollutants means that hemp can be grown for hempcrete on formerly industrial land as part of a reclamation or rewilding program if the hempcrete is made into sealed bricks or blocks for construction use.
Hemp is a great mop for soil. It pulls all kinds of contaminates out of the soil that could flow into waterways, so it's especially useful along the edges of ponds, lakes, rivers and the like.
Hemp seed is very beneficial for regulating bowel movements (1-2 ounces/day).
This would take plastic off the market. But it lasts so the mob running the show wont allow that to happen. There not money turning over from everything breaking .
20 years ago we had textiles from sheep, making cotton, that employed 1000's that are no longer existent When they bought in for free trade; alot off Aussie's went broke!!!!! & no longer here. Be careful, because the government will not look after their own!!!
For a country with so much marginal land – this will be an essential commodity. Let's hope the govt have the foresight to promote policies that encourage investment in the wider industrial infrastructure. It would be a shame if the end result of all this good science and engineering were simply a low-value-add industry focused on selling the basic material to offshore manufacturers.
I've worn hemp clothes, and they were very comfortable and durable. Much more durable than cotton. It can be as light as linen or as heavy as canvas, so it's very versatile. It would be great to see Australian hemp made locally into clothes.
"Not many farmers in Australia know how to grow hemp yet." Lol! Im thinking that there are more than you think and more than will admit. Any questions, just come visit the north coast emerald triangle, in the poor parts of any college town, or in the hills where old hippies are still smoking. Knowledge is there, if you know where to look.
Is nobody aware why and when hemp was forbidden???? I say only Randolph Hearst a criminal puplisher .. helped Chemical company Du Pont sell their product. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤮🤮🤮🥳🥳it's the same always, in this case criminalize some thing with the help of mainstreammedias and …… sounds very familiar and American 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🥳🥳🥳🥳🤮🤮🖕
hemp is OP plant, but growing one without thc is flushing half of the harverst into a sewer.. its like making benzin out of oil and not using all of oils potencial.. we must use everything, its only logical
Weed is God's natural chemical healer with basket weaving and rope making using the stocks while the flower (bud) cures or manages many diseases and ailments. Medical miracles are proven from using medical marijuana, such as I used to wear bifocal prescription glasses with needing to upgrade to trifocals when I began consuming medical marijuana and my glasses broke beyond repair. After a couple of months time without wearing prescription glasses my eyesight was improving. One year latter I advanced to 20/20 vision with the department of Motor vehicles wanting my eye surgery prescription. They were forced to document eye improvement through medical marijuana with documenting on my drives liceince that I do not need prescription eye glasses to drive. I pass the eye tests with 20/20 vision. It also helps with pain, A-Fib, blood pressure, and the canibaniod immuno therapy strengthens the immune system. Soon, we in the US will be removing federal marijuana laws where true medical studying will improve the quality of human life.
Fabulous crop! Great way to possibly restore marginal land?
No mention of CBD which is abundant in hemp .
so you lied to people for so long and now you just discovering hemp good on ya Australian government
Funny how australians discover something that is just common thing elsewhere in the world.
One thing about growing hemp is that you don't need weedkillers. There is a reason it's called 'weed'. It grows so fast it smothers weeds.

Re-emerging crop

Hemp Crete won't grow mold either.
hemp and bamboo are champions
It's a plant that is capable of a lot

As long as they have TEGRIDY
I sprinkle hemp seed on my salad regularly.
… under irrigation

Marijuana legal in Aussie Land?
Hopefully the fibre market and other uses of alkyloids this plant produces other than thc
The more CO2 the greener the plants become. The Arabs and the Chinese grew grass in the desert. Water CO2 and seedlings.

First jeans were made from hemp sail cloth.
Its actually scary how quickly humans get amnesia over how useful this plant is.
Exciting times ahead if the hemp industry truly takes off. We are decades behind and it's time to embrace this amazing plant.
Did they mention that hemp seeds can be processed into biodiesel while the stalks can be fermented to produce ethanol/methanol fuel?

Incredible this rejuvenation of hemp farming will hopefully lead to many other farmers around the world following in your footsteps.
