The fact is that hemp is a far better fuel source than corn will ever be. If the government is going to subsidize anything, it should be hemp.

Credit Jack Brammer / Lexington Herald LeaderKentucky Sen. Rand Paul voiced his support Thursday for legalizing industrial hemp. He backs Agriculture Commissioner James Comer efforts.
Agriculture Commissioner James Comer says he is restarting the long-dormant Kentucky Industrial Hemp Commission. The General Assembly created the commission ten years ago to look into hemp’s potential in the commonwealth, but it has never met. This morning, Comer announced that he is reforming the commission and, per state law, he will be the chairman.
“Kentucky has the perfect soil and climate to be the nation’s top producer of industrial hemp. Studies have shown that hemp could be at least the 3rd most profitable crop in Kentucky and our farmers could capture the lion’s share of the industry,” he says.

Silly me. I saw the title for this article in my “in” box and thought you had written up something concerning the subject of my new poem, “A CNN Toast” at http://www.dcdave.com/poet15/120912.htm. It’s a good article, though, on more folly by our politicians that never seems to make it into the campaign debate.
