(OTC PINK: HEMP) executives see more lucrative business opportunities as another state joins the 29 states that have already legalized industrial hemp. Pennsylvania Governor, Tom Wolf, signed into law a bill that would let the Pennsylvania Agriculture Department and institutions of higher education grow hemp for research purposes, directly or through approved contractors. According to the bill's sponsor, Rep. Russ Diamond, large scale production could occur under the law's research provisions. With the country's largest industrial hemp processing facility and milling operation underway, Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) is strategically positioned as the leader in re-emerging industrial hemp industry to process industrial hemp and manufacture products made from hemp.\n Hemp, Inc.'s (OTC PINK: HEMP) wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC (IHM), is in the final stages of completion. \"Industrial hemp is reclaiming its rightful place in America as demand for this environmentally friendly natural fiber continues to increase due to the economic benefits. Pennsylvania, in particular, has a rich history of hemp farming dating back to the mid-1700s. One of its counties was even dubbed 'Hempfield.' Now, more and more states are realizing the importance of hemp and its tie to our American culture,\" said David Schmitt, COO of IHM.\n Hemp is one of the world's most durable fibers for textiles and can also be used to manufacture biodegradable plastics, building materials, food, paper, environmental and energy products. \"You typically see a lot of companies overseas opting for hemp and hemp-based materials and more farmers cultivating the plant in between growing seasons as a cover crop to keep valuable nutrients in the soil. This continues to prove the hemp revolution is not only unstoppable but relentless. Hemp, Inc. has its commercial decortication facility in place to soon fill the increased demand for processing the fiber and will also be able to deploy portable decorticators to more and more farmers as they begin to grow hemp,\" says Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp...
