unless you do "small batch" cottage industry style manufacture/processing, packaging and sales. It's hard to know what you're getting on the market right now unless they post the levels, etc. of what they're using as raw materials. I see tinctures are doing well as are some other products. I know several people who already do that but I can make my own. I am not good with marketing and sales even if you hold my hand while showing me how so I doubt I will have a product available.

If you sell to a large producer of finished products, you won't make anything on raw stock right now. We've decided to sit on ours until prices go up and/or process it in small batches and sell it that way. I am not into that but it might be what ends up happening for my partner.

A lot of growers in my state, under a pilot program for hemp farming-in its third year, contracted hundreds of acres with folks from CO only to end up getting screwed by them. Not a good scene right now for those who really went big. My partner only wanted a niche crop and went for high CBD strains. I guided the farming aspect and he was the sales guy and paperwork guy since it was his idea and his property and money. I got to be outside in a really cool place all summer and watch hemp grow while solving a lot of problems. We harvested 8 acres of high grade, completely organic hemp. It was fun, and I never want to do it again. Fortunately, I have a life-time supply now.
