Unless the hemp is broken down to be made into textile or the seeds are harvested for seed productiom. It would be illegal to transfer the  plant across state lines to another to be state to produce products. I did get to take a tour at the Langdon research center, which of course the only thing I cared about was the hemp. I wasn't allowed to take a picture of the plot but I was surprised it had no distinct smell like one would expect. It was full of bees that polinated the female plant. The male plant would die only leaving the female plant to grow. The gentleman said that all the plants are pulled and burned in front of the dea. He said that the whole plant even the roots need to be removed becuase it takes a very long time for the hemp fibers to decompose. I know the ndsu research centers plant hemp but it is only for scientific research  as far as know its grown in different areas, I am only assuming that the farmers who also grow the hemp is for the same scientific research.If you are interested in more information you could always call the ndsu research centers in Langdon or Carrington to find out more information. Since I don't have any land go grow any green gold, I have no dog in the fight.</blockquote>
