[Keith Broaders]

Ten acres of Hemp can produce 15,000 pounds of hemp flower and 7,000 pounds of seeds.

When the oil in extracted from the flowers 1,360 pounds of CBD Oil can be obtained which would have a value of $271,000. When oil is extracted from the seeds a total of 220 gallons of pure ethanol can be produced.

The cost to produce a gallon of gasoline from petroleum is $.95 per gallon and the cost to produce a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% petroleum cost $1.74. The cost of pure hemp based ethanol is $1.37 per gallon.

The amount of carbon dioxide generated from burning a gallon petroleum based gasoline is 19.64 ponds and the amount of C02 produced by corn ethanol is approximately 17.1 pounds per gallon. The amount of carbon dioxide created from burning pure hemp ethanol is around 12.72 pounds per gallon

After the oil is extracted from the 10 acres of hemp seeds there will be 5,300, pounds of hemp meal that can sold to farmers to feed their cows, chickens and pigs,
