    Should you be looking at growing the real thing now under licence. The Government needs it and it's starting importing it. Convert an idle shed and get a 24/7/365 business going. It's probably legal to export already.


    Well maybe ill give a go at the hemp first and see how it goes. As for growing the real stuff, I'd imagine a legal massive grow house would need some decent security!

    They don't need security at the moment. Just stick to the first rule of fight club.

    €1500 to €4k per ACRE!!

    I’ve produced a lot more than this man and I can’t get it over €1k per HECTARE.
    (usually around €800/ha).

    Around 12t+dm/ha of fibre and about 1t of seed is all I can manage...bad farmer me?

    Why bother yourselves growing it? I’ll send over as much as ye want for a fraction of his projections....

    Bit like the Beet Ireland nonsense, flashy headlines to draw the suckers in.
    Over here guys are dropping beet due to lack of profitability on much less than 85t/ha plus ground.

    Friend of mine is thinking of getting out of sbeet, and he’s in the Paris Basin!
    This years price offer is €27.70/t. Regularly gets 100+t/ha.

    He’s in the process of nailing down a contract for growing spuds for McCains...

    Discovered last week that a local sheep farmer from back home near Naas has gone in to hemp this year with 15 acres sown. Had a look at it today and it seems to be thriving so far!!
