Spring Hope, NC, May 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC
PINK:HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with
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,
Oregon, and a 500-acre hemp growing Eco-Village in Golden Valley,
Arizona, announced today the launch of The Hemp
University online
masterclasses featuring educational lectures from the
first west coast seminar.
The Hemp University’s eight online educational masterclasses are $10 each and each masterclass is under an hour in length. The online courses include lectures from industry leaders who educated attendees at the first Hemp University workshop in Ashland, Oregon. These online masterclasses provide farmers who were either not able to attend the first Hemp University or who would like to revisit certain topics presented by the event speakers.
The demand for hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) has grown over the past year. In a report, New Frontier Data’s Hemp Business Journal estimates that the hemp-derived CBD market will grow from a $390 million-dollar market in 2018, to a $1.3 billion market by the year 2022. This represents a 27.2% 5-year compound annual growth rate.
“We carefully choose our speakers and topics for each Hemp University to ensure attendees are maximizing their time and have the ability to walk away fully understanding the plant and optimal growing conditions and practices,†said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. “We have been successful in this through our in-person classes, and by opening educational masterclasses online, we hope to further reach interested farmers and educate them on the various important topics covered by leading industry experts whenever they can and wherever they are.â€
Currently, the available online masterclasses include educational lectures from the following industry leaders.

This is the third year Hemp, Inc. has held The Hemp University educational seminars. Since its inception, The Hemp University has grown into a bi-coastal program and has, thus far, educated close to 1,000 farmers on growing hemp. Each class provides farmers with the knowledge to grow the lucrative crop. The online masterclasses allow Hemp, Inc. to extend its reach to more people around the world.
Perlowin added, “We always receive such great feedback from the attendees, speakers and vendors at these seminars so it made sense to open up online access to people who were unable to attend. With these online masterclasses taken from the first west coast Hemp University, farmers will learn straight from the experts and be able to choose topics they are interested in.â€
Online masterclasses from the May 4, 2019 Pre-Planting Support Workshop will be available in the coming weeks.
In addition to The Hemp University in Oregon, Hemp, Inc. also plans to expand their educational reach to Arizona and Puerto Rico. Arizona is a location where Hemp, Inc. has multiple ventures which include a retail store called Hemp Healthcare in Dolan Springs, Arizona that sells high-end CBD and hemp-based products and its strategic growing partner’s 500-acre hemp growing eco-village in Golden Valley, Arizona. Puerto Rico is an area where Hemp, Inc. is scouting new locations for a local processing center and scouting acres to grow high CBD hemp.

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 THE GREAT AMERICAN 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 “The Great American Hempathon†to avoid any confusion with Colorado’s Cannabis Grow-Off. This is another industry event where science meets cultivation.
According to www.TheGrowOff.com, this Grow-Off tests growing skill on a level playing field by starting teams with the same genetics. Instead of being judged subjectively by enthusiasts, winners are determined by lab results. Cash prizes are awarded based on the highest cannabinoids, terpenes, and in some states, yield. For more information on The Grow-Off, visit www.TheGrowOff.com. For those who are interested in growing hemp, join Hemp, Inc.’s Great American Hempathon.
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 Great American Hempathon starts June 1, 2019 (the first day hemp will be legal to grow in Arizona) and also includes a Hemp University, possibly every weekend based on demand, 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 Great American 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.
