Las Vegas, NV - 
(NewMediaWire) - May 18, 2021 - With over 10 years’ experience in growing and processing hemp in North America, Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) reports today it expects its 2021 hemp grows in North Carolina, Wyoming, Arizona and Oregon to be a grand slam. Not only does Hemp, Inc. have an established network of industry professionals in every segment of the industrial hemp industry, it has enlisted renowned scientist, Dr. Robert Ian Bruck, Chief Science Officer of Hempire, Inc. to oversee its North Carolina hemp grow.
1. Hemp, Inc.’s North Carolina 2021 Hemp Grow
"We expect this year’s grow to be a huge success. Dr. Bruck is an intellectual visionary and understands the evolving industrial hemp sector. The interdisciplinary perspective he brings from academia and his professional career is not only unique, but profound," says Craig Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc.
According to Dr. Bruck, CBG is one of the cannabinoids in cannabis that has more pharmacological benefits than CBD for pain, arthritis, etc. “To date, there are only a few CBG hemp strains in the market. I’m working with one of Hemp, Inc.’s growers to breed from a mother plant that Hempire, Inc. ordained,” says Bruck. Hempire, Inc. is a cannabis delivery service that primarily serves the Stockton, California area but has a division that focuses on CBG genetics which Dr. Bruck heads. “We are making huge strides in breeding very high content CBG hemp strain. We have thousands of seedlings in the greenhouse and we’re shooting for 5,000 plants that will be transplanted to the field.”
The plants, to be planted in approximately 3 weeks, are expected to grow to maturity and harvested around the end of August, this year. The strain being tested in this grow is called “Hemperial 3”. The grow covers about two and a half acres of land in North Carolina.
Dr. Bruck is leading Hemp, Inc.’s hemp grow in North Carolina and holds a double Ph.D. He has been the Dean of Hemp, Inc.'s Hemp University for the past few years. He holds a B.A. in Biology from The State University of New York, Buffalo State, a Ph.D. in Forest Pathology, Phytopathology from The State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry; a Ph.D. in Forestry from Syracuse University and a Post-Doctoral Fellow from Cornell University, and years of experience in the fields of plant pathology and plant ecology.

Educated in Biology, Forestry, Forest Pathology, and Phytopathology, Bruck brings a broad, interdisciplinary perspective to The Hemp University. In addition to the above mentioned, he also serves as Director of North Carolina State Institute (NCSU) for Environmental Technology Education; Special Asst. to the Vice Chancellor for Research, Outreach & Extension, NCSU; Coordinator of University Environmental Programs; and, Professor, Depts. of Plant Pathology and Forestry.
"I have been very fortunate in my career to work with so many incredible people. Hemp, Inc. has set the bar high in the industry and I look forward to continuing to grow with them as this industry continues to expand,” said Bruck.
2. Hemp, Inc.’s Wyoming 2021 Hemp Grow
In Wyoming, Hemp, Inc. is partnering with GreenTree Ag, LLC to grow long stalk industrial hemp on 22.22 acres. The specific cultivars used in this particular grow are HLIANA, HLESIA, and HLUKHIVS’KI and are scheduled to be planted during the first week in June and harvested during the first week in September, 2021. The whole process will be closely monitored using GreenTree Ag’s precision ag methodology from “Soil to Solutions”.
GreenTree Ag, LLC’s Precision Ag methodology is evidence-based and bridges the gap between all agricultural data and the equipment that collects and utilizes it. “We believe that if your operation is to make lasting positive changes in the way you farm and manage your inputs, you must first understand what you’re working with. We provide a simple and effective method to get you started to better input management and optimum Hemp production,” said Justin Loeffler, Founder & CEO of GreenTree Ag, LLC.
According to Loeffler, a successful grow starts with the Initial Field Analysis. “The Initial Field Analysis was designed for one purpose, provide growers with long lasting accurate information they could count on year after year to build off of, to make impacting management decisions to lower input costs and increase productivity.” Their Initial Field Analysis “gets right to the heart of crucial information that will significantly assist the farmer in making positive changes on their farm.” For more information on using GreenTree Ag, LLC’s “Soil to Solutions” visit www.greentreeag.com.
Hemp, Inc. expects to harvest 10,000 pounds per acre (30% hemp fiber, 70% hemp herd and 300-500 pounds of seeds per acre) which will primarily be used for next year’s crop. The seeds from this year’s crop will be enough to plant 222 acres next year. Hemp, Inc. will use the harvest to produce hemp lumber such as 2x4s which are made up of hemp and recycled plastic, making it stronger, longer-lasting and more sustainable than traditional wood.
“We are extremely excited with this relationship as it helps launch another hemp product into the marketplace for our new clean and green sustainable and regenerative American agricultural and industrial revolution,” says Craig Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc.
3. Hemp, Inc.’s Arizona 2021 Hemp Grow
In Arizona, Hemp, Inc. is preparing to grow hemp and kenaf on 11 acres at its Veterans Village Kins Community in Golden Valley, Arizona. Darren Reed, Hemp, Inc.’s primary grower, is overseeing the grow using the same cultivars Wyoming is using (HLIANA, HLESIA, and HLUKHIVS’KI). According to Reed, planting will start by the end of this week and they expect to harvest by mid to end September of this year. “Right now, we’re laying the ground work (sifting, plowing the field, and fertilizing the soil). We’ll be testing to see which cultivar will yield the best results,” said Reed.
4. Hemp, Inc.’s Oregon 2021 Hemp Grow
In Oregon, Hemp, Inc. is partnering with Natural Blum Farm to grow hemp this year using one of the most sought-after cultivars from the Crawford Brothers (White CBG Seedless). According to oregoncbdseeds.com, the White CBG Seedless is “revered for its large dense flowers and gorgeous bag appeal and exhibits a stronger, more diesel-filled nose and bumped-up yields. With added essential oil production, its seedless frosted white flowers also gain more stickiness than the original.
“The Crawford Brothers are some of my heroes in the hemp industry. They’re in the top 3 percent of people in the industry who actually know what they’re doing. Unfortunately, it’s been a huge learning curve which I’ve seen translate into a lot of sweat and tears. This is one reason Hemp, Inc. has the Hemp University and Consultant divisions to educate as many people as we can,” said Bruce Perlowin, Chief Visionary Consultant to Hemp, Inc.
Curt Gerbers, President & CEO of Natural Blum says he is excited to be partnering with Hemp, Inc. and expects the cultivar he’s using to yield a nice crop. They are currently prepping the soil to plant the first week in June and expect to harvest sometime in September.
Natural Blum is a health and wellness company that offers a wide range of CBD and CBG products. Their best sellers include: CBD Flower; CBD Oil; CBD Pre-Rolls; CBG Flower; CBG Oil; CBG Pre-Rolls; CBD Distillate/Isolates; CBD Edibles; and CBG Balms/Creams. Visit Natural Blum for more info here. “We are excited to be working with Hemp, Inc. at our Natural Blum Farms King of Hemp Store in Boulder, CO which will be opening soon showcasing both Natural Blum and Hemp, Inc. products,” says Gerbers.
Moreover, Hemp Inc. is making their King of Hemp® line available at other retail stores across America. For those who prefer shopping online, King of Hemp products are currently available at NaturalExposureCBD.com.
Included in the King of Hemp® line are items such as Bubba Kush hemp, CBD pre-rolls, fortified CBD pre-rolls, CBD and CBG Caviar and Moon Rocks, as well as Diamonds, which are the only product on the market today that contain 96%-98.7% CBD.

HEMP, INC.’S ELEVEN DIVISIONS
It has been Hemp, Inc.’s intent to continually invest in building its hemp infrastructure, especially since none existed previously. In fact, the Company has instinctively been following the same path as Amazon… reinvesting profits and operating capital back into building the infrastructure. This is a business strategy that has been proven and works well.
All the years leading up to this point were building and finishing the largest hemp infrastructure in America. Now the Company is focusing 90% of its efforts on marketing and generating revenues.
Hemp, Inc.’s eleven divisions are as follows:
Division One – The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure
Division Two – The Hemp Farming Infrastructure
Division Three – The Hemp Extraction & Pre-Roll Blending 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
Division Ten – Educational Entertainment
Division Eleven – Medical and Recreational Marijuana
Division One – The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure
The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure (Division One) consisted of two hemp processing facilities across the country. The largest of the two is its multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility and milling operation in Spring Hope, North Carolina. It’s the largest “industrial hemp processing center” in the western hemisphere and has grown to become one of the pre-eminent centers of the industrial hemp industry. The 85,000 square foot facility sits on 9-acres. It is environmentally sustainable and was built from the ground up in hopes of “Making America Hemp Again." With a patent pending manufacturing process, the North Carolina facility is operating full time to process the Company’s unique kenaf-hemp blend and manufacture all-green natural loss circulation material (LCMs), called DrillWall™ . The DrillWall™ is to be sold to the oil and gas drilling industry, along with an all-green natural oil spill absorbent, a second industrial kenaf-hemp product called Spill-Be-Gone™.
In addition to the company’s industrial hemp processing facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina, Hemp, Inc. also has a 62,000 square-foot raw hemp processing center in Medford, Oregon (which focuses on hemp harvesting, drying, curing, trimming, bagging, storing, and in some cases selling high CBD hemp for local farmers and the Company’s own hemp grows in that area, and post processing for the CBD industry) and approximately 10,000 square feet contracted for the production of finished goods in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Company’s main focus is the “King of Hemp® pre-rolls and high CBD smokable buds… a new phenomenon of smoking hemp which has caught the marketplace by storm.
Division One Products:
· DrillWall™ (a loss circulation material)
· Spill-Be-Gone™ (an oil spill cleanup product)
Division Two – The Hemp Farming Infrastructure
The Hemp Farming Infrastructure (Division Two) consists of numerous acres of hemp and kenaf growing in multiple locations, farm equipment, cloning rooms, clones and seeds, grow rooms, greenhouses, hemp drying facilities and a huge amount of peripheral farming tools and equipment. The progress Hemp, Inc. has made in its agricultural endeavors, over the course of five years, has been amazing. This year marks the sixth year that Hemp, Inc. has been growing hemp. Visit https://www.hempincpresents.com/ to see the videos of Hemp, Inc.’s grows in multiple locations.)
Hemp, Inc. operates “Small Family Hemp Farm” models. The “Small Family Hemp Farm” in North Carolina is situated on 12 acres and consists of a cloning room, a greenhouse, and enough land to grow 2,000-3,000 high CBD or CBG hemp plants. The model shows farmers how to grow high CBD and CBG hemp plants, operate a greenhouse and turn a barn into a cloning room to earn up to $100,000+ a year. This shows an example of how the “Small Family Hemp Farm” can be duplicated and reappear on the American landscape. After all, the original small family farms in America were able to survive economically by growing hemp as their main cash crop and the first five presidents of the United States were all hemp farmers.
Another model “Small Family Hemp Farm” is located Dolan Springs, Arizona. This “Small Family Hemp Farm” is referred to as “The Orchard” since it has a sizable organic orchard. There are 2 acres on which hemp will be grown; a cloning room; cold storage; and a greenhouse that is planned to be installed. This year mostly CBG hemp will be grown.
“This year is about sales and marketing for us. Right now, we believe we have the largest footprint of bio-diverse hemp products with vertical integration in the hemp industry in America today. We are always looking for joint ventures where we have or can expand our footprint,” commented a Hemp, Inc. executive.
Moreover, “A to Z” services for the farmers are available - from harvesting to drying, curing, bucking, machine trimming, hand trimming, bagging, storing, nitrogen sparging, and selling… creating a “one stop shop” for the small to large family farms.
Division Two Products include:
· The King of Hemp® Pre-Roll Blends
Visit www.kingofhempusa.com for current products.
Division Three – The Hemp Extraction & Pre-Roll Blending Infrastructure
The Hemp CBD Oil Extraction & Pre-Roll Blending Infrastructure (Division Three) originally consisted of a Supercritical C02 Extractor. After operating for over a year it has been determined that Hemp, Inc. will not be involved in the extraction industry and has changed its direction to focus primarily on the King of Hemp® pre-rolls and The King of Hemp® high CBD smokable flower. The CBD oil that was extracted from the 2018 hemp grows in North Carolina has been made into pure crystalline CBD isolate which was added to the Company’s “King of Hemp®” branded line of pre-rolls that are now in the marketplace across all 50 states.
Division Four – The Hemp Educational Infrastructure
The Hemp Educational Infrastructure (Division Four) includes Hemp, Inc.'s Hemp University which focuses on educating and empowering Hemp farmers and entrepreneurs with knowledge, processing, infrastructure and support. The educational seminars, through the Hemp University, are held as needed. These seminars teach farmers and landowners how to create a profitable income stream by maximizing the per-acre crop revenue. Through this division, Hemp, Inc. has trained well over 500 farmers in its first two years by doing a total of nine Hemp University seminars in North Carolina and Oregon, which included:
The New Leaf Symposium and Golden Grow Awards Gala - January 26, 2020 (Jacksonville, Oregon)
“The New Leaf Symposium’s” focus was “Regeneration" to celebrate optimism and resilience in the industry, the power of the plant, and faith in the hemp-producing community. The event sold out with over 180 attendees. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly possible and the speakers were hailed as the best yet. The educational symposium concluded with the “Golden Grow Awards Gala”. The Golden Grow Awards Gala honored Oregon's top cultivars and put Oregon’s best farmers head-to-head for some of the most prestigious hemp-industry accolades. There were four categories judged in the awards: Top CBD, Top Terpenes, Judge’s Favorite, and Peoples’ Choice. (See Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook post on 1/28/20 for a short video on this symposium.)
The Pre-Harvest Symposium – September 8, 2019 (Oregon)
“The Pre-Harvest Symposium” workshop at Southern Oregon University was expertly designed for both farmers and entrepreneurs of all experience levels, focused on harvesting, processing and profit channels within the hemp industry. The third edition of the Southern Oregon Hemp University brought an abundance of insight into innovations within the realm of harvesting and processing to the forefront. Additionally, the symposium touched on traditional practices in agriculture. (See Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook post on 9/9/19 for a short video on this symposium.)
Pre-Plant Support Workshop – May 4, 2019 (Oregon)
“The Pre-Plant Support Workshop” was an incredible success that filled the entire venue to capacity with attendees. In total, there were close to 200 attendees, including 20 vendors in attendance. The workshop was designed to help hemp farmers or those who are interested in the hemp industry learn the best pre-planting practices prior to the planting season. The Hemp University Pre-Planting Support Workshop was an interactive and informative workshop that covered the various details hemp farmers should know prior to planting in the 2019 season and beyond. (See Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook post on 5/9/19 for a short video on this workshop.)
The Hemp University Educational Seminar - March 23, 2019 (Oregon)
This was the first Hemp University held on the West Coast. The seminar provided attendees with a full day of networking, education, and support. The seminar helped others in the area who were interested in the hemp industry learn more about the “Industrial Hemp Revolution” and how this movement can not only transform Southern Oregon’s economy, but also revive family farms and small businesses in the surrounding areas. (See Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook post on 3/28/19 for a short video on this seminar.)
Growing Hemp for Profit – March 10, 2018 – (North Carolina)
The Hemp University’s first educational symposium event of 2018 entitled “Growing Hemp for Profit” took place on Saturday, March 10, 2018. Attendees learned from the University’s industrial hemp experts as they shared their lessons from their experiences in growing industrial hemp. “Growing Hemp for Profit,” which took place from 8:30am to 5 pm at the Hilton Garden Inn in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Art and Science of CBD Greenhouse Growing – June 24, 2017 (North Carolina)
The 3rd Hemp University educational symposium held on June 24, 2017 focused on The Art and Science of CBD Greenhouse Growing. The educational symposium was held at Louisburg College in Louisburg, North Carolina. A team of experts engaged attendees through the greenhouse and indoor growing process from cultivation to harvest and from processing to distribution. Dr. Robert Bruck, Dean of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and Distinguished Professor of Environmental Science at Louisburg College, was The Hemp University’s special guest who lectured on soil microbiology during the symposium. Attendees were able to spend half of the course at Hemp, Inc.’s, then, 70,000 square-foot Industrial Hemp Hub, in a 3,000 square-foot cloning room. There, attendees had the opportunity to experience a more hands-on learning approach. (See Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook post on 6/30/17 for a short video on this symposium.)
Farming Hemp for Profit™ – April 29, 2017 (North Carolina)
Hemp, Inc.’s second, sold out, educational symposium (Farming HEMP for Profit™), through its Hemp University, was a phenomenal success.

To listen to past Hemp University workshops, please visit hemp-university.teachable.com. Also visit https://www.hempincpresents.com to see highlights from Hemp, Inc.’s inaugural Hemp University held in North Carolina, which sold out in two weeks.
The Hemp University’s twelve online educational masterclasses are $10 each and each masterclass is under an hour in length. The online courses include lectures from industry leaders who have educated attendees at the Hemp University workshops in 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.
Those interested in Hemp, Inc.’s online courses, including experts in any aspect of the industrial hemp industry, should contact (855) 554-6834.
“Since The Hemp University’s initial launch with the educational symposium, the number of attendees grew tremendously and was an overwhelming success, each time. The interactive, hands-on learning approach was invaluable. By learning in an interactive cohort format, students gained the necessary skills they needed to immediately implement them on their farm or in their organization. It’s the perfect mix of quality instruction, relevant educational content and a high level of commitment, to ensure the educational success of each attendee,” said one Company executive.
The Hemp University has helped transform the livelihoods of North Carolina and Oregon farmers transitioning from tobacco and other crops to industrial hemp by providing them with the tools and support needed to gain a foothold in this burgeoning industry.
Division Five – The Hemp Marketing Infrastructure
While marketing is a critical facet of any business operation for increasing revenues, Hemp, Inc. believes there must be a keen focus on the infrastructure. The demand for CBD, CBG and other hemp products is massive, some even say the demand is insatiable. In order to supply that type of volume/demand, there has to be a strong foundation or infrastructure in place. The cannabidiol (CBD) market is on track to grow to $23.7 billion through 2023, according to the Brightfield Group. The firm also estimated the smokable hemp market to be valued at $11.5 million in 2018, a growth of 250% from 2017.
Division Six – Accessories, Products and Services
Division Six focuses on the sale of hemp industry accessories such as the sale of extractors, harvesters, storage bags, containers, fertilizer, soil amendments, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, balers, greenhouses, and greenhouse equipment; the drying, trimming, curing, storing and brokering for other farmers harvesting hemp; and ultimately anything else a hemp farmer may need to be successful.
Division Seven – Research and Development
While Research and Development has been an integral part of Hemp, Inc. since day one, the Company plans on developing a more formal research and development project. This division will then start and expand rapidly. The Company originally planned for Puerto Rico to be a research and development hub, but found the barrier to entrance was much too great and has therefore changed its position to focus its research and development division on states where hemp is already legal. Hemp, Inc. is proud to have been a pioneer and leader in the early stages of the hemp industry in America with our strategy to build infrastructure even before legalization occurred in a state such as what was done in North Carolina and Arizona.
Division Eight – Industrial Hemp Investments and Joint Ventures
Hemp, Inc. established its eighth division (Industrial Hemp Investments and Joint Ventures). Since the passing of the 2018 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 ir@hempinc.com. Millionaire investors, and in some cases billionaires and billion dollar hedge fund managers, are aggressively trying to get into the hemp industry since the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. Our joint venture agreements are that they put up the money and we put up the expertise in a 50/50 revenue share (after all the initial investment money is paid back). This will save the large-scale hemp investor often two years and dozens of multi-million dollar mistakes that they “WILL” often make without an expert in the hemp industry. This is where Hemp, Inc.’s vast network of experts and resources, built over a period of 10 years, in the industrial hemp industry come into play because this is something we can easily provide to those interested in entering this industry.
Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting
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 Consulting”. With an influx of public companies wanting to expand into the industrial hemp industry, Hemp, Inc. has been inundated with potential consulting and joint venture agreements. To keep up, Hemp, Inc. revamped its consulting division to work hands-on with each company to provide its years of expertise. There is definitely a sense of a “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 traded company in the cannabis sector (Medical Marijuana, Inc.) and having over a decade of experience in the industrial hemp industry’s public sector.
Division Ten – Educational Entertainment
The Educational Entertainment division will cover everything from investing in the movie “The Adventures of the King of Pot” (https://www.kingofpotthemovie.com/) and other historical movies, books and documentaries representing our industry up to the current docuseries being made on “The Modern Day History of Hemp”. Those interested in investing in any one of these ventures should contact ir@hempinc.com.
Division Eleven – Medical and Recreational Marijuana
Hemp, Inc.’s newest division, Medical and Recreational Marijuana, is underway to enter the cannabis market in 2021 once marijuana is fully legalized across the country. Banks and merchant account providers will be more open and accepting of marijuana companies. Right now, the banking regulations for marijuana companies are very draconian. “I’ve known so many banks to close accounts merely because they were associated with the industry. Anyway, we don’t know if we’ll wait for full legalization yet but that decision won’t discount the building out of facilities and preparation for it. After legalization occurs and large scale marijuana grows are underway, this division would already be positioned as a ‘go-to’ consultant due to our industry expertise.”
