I feel for the hemp gang. I mean you really got to be able to sell sand at the beach to in that space.

There were Kentucky farmers who literally made a million bucks off a 40 acre field in 2018 and prior. Those days are not coming back.

I think there are still ways to be profitable with hemp for a small farm, but it involves being as close to vertically integrated as possible. A lot of that is being your own processor and getting your own retail clients.
