bi-coastal processing centers including the 85,000 square-foot
multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in Spring Hope,
North Carolina, a state of the art processing center in Medford,

p.m. through 7 p.m. PST.
Prior to the hemp planting season, The Hemp University is hosting an interactive and informative Pre-Plant Support Workshop. The workshop will cover the various details hemp farmers need to know prior to planting this season. The workshop will feature a keynote speaker and three 90-minute master classes hosted by various experts and leaders in the industry. The speakers will educate attendees through first-hand experience on various aspects of hemp pre-planting so farmers can go into the pre-planting season with the most up-to-date and advanced knowledge to produce a healthy crop.
In addition to the keynote presentation and master classes, a seed, clones, soils and nutrients vendor market will be held for attendees. This is an opportunity for attendees to select everything necessary for farming hemp before the planting season begins. Many vendors will give a short presentation describing each product and how they can help fulfill various hemp farming needs this season.
The booming hemp industry is one that more farmers are interested in entering as the hemp-derived CBD market will grow more than three times to a $1.3 billion market by 2022, estimates New Frontier Data’s Hemp Business Journal.
Attendees will hear from keynote speaker, Edgar Winters, who is the CEO of WinterFox Farms. As the first licensed Oregon hemp farmer in 77 years, Edgar is a hemp activist and researcher who has worked with renowned institutions like Cornell University. He will discuss hemp’s important role in the sustainability model on superior genetics for farmers, processors and investors.

WHAT IS HEMP, INC.?
What is Hemp, Inc.? With a deep-rooted social and environmental mission at its core, Hemp, Inc. seeks to build a business constituency for the American small farmer, the American veteran, and other groups experiencing the ever-increasing disparity between tapering income and soaring expenses. As a leader in the industrial hemp industry with ownership of the largest commercial multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in North America, Hemp, Inc. believes there can be tangible benefits reaped from adhering to a corporate social responsibility plan.
HEMP, INC.’S NINE DIVISIONS
Hemp, Inc. has been helping to build the industrial hemp infrastructure that was basically non-existent in America. There are nine divisions:
Division One – The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure
Division Two – The Hemp Farming Infrastructure
Division Three – The Hemp Extraction Infrastructure
Division Four – The Hemp Educational Infrastructure
Division Five – The Hemp Marketing Infrastructure
Division Six – Accessories, Products and Services
Division Seven – Research and Development
Division Eight – Industrial Hemp Investments and Joint Ventures
Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting
Hemp, Inc. recently established the eighth division (Industrial Hemp Investments and Joint Ventures). Since the passing of the hemp bill, Hemp, Inc. has been flooded with inquiries of people who want to invest in the hemp industry but don’t know where to start. As the avant guard of the industrial hemp industry, Hemp, Inc. has put together numerous joint venture investment opportunities for the medium to large-scale investor. Those who are interested should email [email protected].
Hemp, Inc.’s Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Consulting Company (IHMMCC) was recently restructured as its ninth division and is now “Division Nine - Industrial Hemp Consultingâ€. With an influx of public companies wanting to expand into the industrial hemp industry, Hemp, Inc. has been inundated with potential consulting agreements. To keep up, Hemp, Inc. revamped its consulting division to work hands-on with each company to provide its years of expertise. According to Perlowin, there is definitely a sense of “Community of Companies†whereby a lot of companies are working together to pool their resources, marketing connections and strategies in order to grow simultaneously.
Typically, companies seeking in depth consulting services from Hemp, Inc. pay mostly in stock since cash flow is oftentimes tight during the developmental stage of start-up companies in this industry. Through Hemp, Inc.’s Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting, a wide range of services are forged from the experiences of creating the first publicly trading company in the cannabis sector (Medical Marijuana, Inc.) and having well over a decade of experience in the cannabis industry’s public sector. Perlowin, Hemp, Inc.’s chief executive officer also has over five decades in the industry itself.
HEMP, INC.’S HEMPATHON (Previously THE GREAT AMERICAN HEMP GROW-OFF)
According to Perlowin, Hemp, Inc. hopes to have 50 “master hemp growers†working on their first Veteran Village Kins Community in Arizona. To date, we have growers from Oregon, Colorado, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nevada, Florida, and Arizona who have expressed an interest in pursuing a joint venture with Hemp, Inc. to each grow industrial hemp on 5 of the 300 fenced acres in Arizona. Perlowin renamed it “Hempathonâ€. Any grower having an interest in pursuing a joint venture on 5 of the 300 fenced in acres in Arizona should contact Project Manager Dwight Jory. Or, anyone interested in attending the 2-7-day hands-on hempcrete house building should contact Dwight Jory ([email protected]) as well. The Hempathon starts June 1, 2019 (the first day hemp will be legal to grow in Arizona) and also includes a Hemp University, up to every weekend, for the entire growing season. The Hemp University (in Arizona) will be held in a 60-foot geodesic dome that can seat up to 225 people.
At the Hempathon, 2 Manifest Studios will be filming and interviewing all of the master growers and their grows on the Docuseries on the Modern Day History of Hemp. “No wonder most of the growers I talk to want to come and be a part of this. They want to be a part of the Docuseries on the Modern Day History of Hemp because if they’re not there, history will pass them by,†said Perlowin. The weekend Hemp University course, that will be taking place in the 60-ft geodesic dome, will now also include field trips out to the all the 5-acre hemp grows that are growing just 100 yards away. This hands-on interactive educational experience is the chance of a lifetime for anyone to really learn about this new emerging multi-billion dollar hemp industry from hemp industry experts all over America.
A 44-ft geodesic dome will be set up as a vendor area selling a wide variety of products needed to grow industrial hemp. A 36-ft geodesic dome will be set up as a movie room to show movies, documentaries and courses on everything from bio-dynamic farming, permaculture, organic farming practices to bees, predator pest control, soil amendments, cloning, grafting and other peripheral agricultural course materials.
Lastly, the entire operation will have live streaming video capabilities so the whole world can tap in and see the Hempathon in real time. The winners of the Hempathon will share in the $100,000 prize money, in a variety of categories.
Perlowin stated, “I run into literally dozens of people who are planning to grow between 50 and 10,000 acres of hemp this year. However, the majority of them do not have the experience to do this successfully. So rather than jump into the industrial hemp industry with potentially millions to be made, the best thing you could possibly do would be to grow 5 acres initially. (It costs $50,000 to participate in the Hempathon and based on our experiences in Oregon, 5 acres can produce up to a million dollars or more of net profit.) It costs about $100,000 for 5 acres to plant, grow, harvest, and process, based on our experiences with our growers from Oregon last year. The joint venture arrangement would be a 50/50 revenue split with Hemp, Inc. creating the probability that the grower could generate half a million dollars and Hemp, Inc. would also receive that same amount. This will not only generate a substantial revenue stream for Hemp, Inc. and its shareholders, it will also generate a nice return on investment (ROI) for the Hempathon participants while they learn from industry experts all over America, over a four to six month period.
“A lot of participants are planning to bring their motor homes and camp out on location while others are electing to stay in a hotel in Las Vegas and take the 90-minute drive out to the land to The Hemp University seminars or in Kingman, Arizona just 20 miles away. Parking your motorhome out on the land and/or camping out is free of charge. We are thinking of having small concerts at night, sing-a-longs, and campfires, as well as other entertainment and speakers to give an enhanced value to the Hempathon. There is no better way to learn about industrial hemp than to participate in the hemp grow-off, even if you’re just an investor. Investors can hire a master grower to grow for them.
