In recent years, small farmers have experienced significant financial gains by transitioning from traditional crops like corn and soybeans to industrial hemp. Unlike traditional crops, hemp offers multiple harvests per year and a wide range of profitable by-products, including fibers, seeds, and oils. A case in point is Green Acres Farm in Kentucky, which reported a 50% increase in revenue within the first year of growing hemp. The farm’s owner, Jane Mitchell, highlighted that hemp’s low maintenance costs and high market demand have made it a game-changer for their business. This trend reflects a broader shift as more farmers recognize hemp’s potential to enhance their economic stability and sustainability
