Regionalized whole Hemp plant processing facilities will not only minimize those costs, they will provide opportunities to create hubs of like-minded businesses who specialize in a specific genre of hemp products like building materials, food, cosmetics, fabrics, or filtration systems … Creating even more excellent jobs!

In addition, we attended the US Biochar Initiative Conference in Ft. Collins where we learned about the many other uses of Biochar in addition to the ones we are focusing on, namely soil remediation and water filtration.  In a way, Biochar and Hemp are very similar in that they are both newly emerging industries.  Biochar is a very versatile raw material that will become extremely important for the ultimate success of the Agricultural Hemp Industry. In Collaboration with some of our Biochar experts we are working on the prototype for the Mobile Biochar Propagation Module and we hope to be able to tour the state with it to demonstrate its effectiveness in cleaning up the waste from the CBD, Recreational, and Medical Cannabis industries and turning this waste into something useful.
Our Research Plots have sprouted and we are monitoring them closely to make sure they have the optimal conditions for maximum seed production.
We also attended the EnviroTextiles Hemp Workshop in Glenwood Springs which outlined the entire supply chain for Agricultural Hemp to participants who want to become involved in the nascent Agricultural Hemp industry.
Duane will be a speaker at the upcoming Hemp and Hops Conference on August 3rd in Grand Junction.  He will be speaking about the differences between Industrial/CBD Hemp and Agricultural Hemp as well as the importance of Cooperatives to the future of Agricultural Hemp.
Duane has also be named as a Panelist on the R&D and Seed Panel for the Colorado Governor’s CHAMP (Colorado Hemp Advancement & Management Plan) Initiative and will be attending those Meetings and providing valuable input for the future of the Agricultural Hemp industry.  these meetings will be in Denver over the next 3 months.
Thanks to everyone for their support and please spread the word about the Colorado Hemp Processing Cooperative as we are actively recruiting Shareholders to help finance the varied projects on which we are working to bring much needed economic stimulus to Rural Colorado and the rest of the country.
Have a Hempy Day!

Although Hemp is removed from the Schedule I Designation, the Federal Government still is dragging their feet with the slow wheels of bureaucracy, they have not done much to encourage hemp planting in 2019 in Southeastern Colorado. The irrigation ditch companies have still not received the OK that Project Water (water that has been stored in a Federally funded storage facility) is approved for watering hemp. Potential growers in southeastern Colorado are still reluctant to plant hemp until this restriction is lifted.

This year we will be growing more industrial hemp seed on our Research plots near Rocky Ford, Colorado. We are also taking this opportunity to research the effects of all natural rock dust fertilizer from US Soil in Salida, Phytonutrients, Biochar. Our four test plots will evaluate what effects these amendments have on seed production and CBD and THC levels to assure the use of these amendments do no stimulate the plants into increasing their THC levels above the .3% that is the upper threshold for hemp by statute.

We are also working with a local CBD grower to analyze the effects of the same augmentations on the CBD levels on 28 acres of his cloned and feminized seed crop.

Patron Shareholders
Patron Shareholders are traditionally people who are connected to the Cooperative because they are involved in the same Industry.  Currently CHPC Paton Shares are $100 per share.  By Limited Cooperative Association (LCA)  Statutes, LCAs make no profits themselves, but all allocated distributable revenues may go directly to Shareholders once a year.  LCA Statutes mandate that at least 50% of all distributed revenues are paid to Patron Shareholders, and the amount they receive will be on a pro rata basis in perpetuity.  Per LCA Statutes, all Patron Shareholders get one (1) vote in all shareholder voting  issues regardless of how many shares they own.

Investor Shareholders
Investor Shareholders are investing in the Cooperative because they believe in the Cooperatives Mission and Goals.  Currently CHPC Investor Shares are $1000 per share.  However, once excess revenue distributions  have  been allocated, 50% of the distributed excess revenues will be returned to the Patron Shareholders and the other 50% will go to paying back the Investor Shareholders their full investment.  Once their full investment has been paid back, their Investor Share(s) will convert to Patron Share(s) with the full Statutory pro rata excess revenue distributions accorded to all Patron Shareholders. This conversion will be each Investor Share will convert to one Patron Share.  So, in essence, Investor Shareholders get a fairly rapid repayment of  their Investment in addition to a Return On Investment (ROI) of 10% (the cost of their Patron Share(s))  plus pro rata excess revenue distributions in perpetuity.  Per LCA Statutes, all Investor  Shareholders get one (1) vote in all Shareholder voting  issues regardless of how many shares they own.

It has the versatility to supply the raw materials for literally thousands of products. Once grown properly, the hemp plant can be processed mechanically into its composite parts which are the seed, flower, leaves, and the stalks. The stalks are decorticated (separated) into the Bast (the outer bark fiber) and the Hurd (the inner pith fiber). Any residual biomass can also be “cooked”, in a process called pyrolysis, and turned into biochar (which we have trademarked as CannaChar ™ and HempChar™).

It will take a long time and millions of tons of materials to saturate these diverse markets, unlike the saturation that is already occurring in the flower market. The whole Hemp plant markets will collectively be the next $1 Trillion industry in the USA.

To change something, build a New Model that makes the existing Model obsolete.”
A new local economic stimulus Model is what we are proposing with a Limited Cooperative Association and government entities collaboration. This collaboration will not only pay back the government entities’ investments, but additionally stimulate local economies with additional 2nd Tier corporate processing/manufacturing and factory retail outlets. Financial stimulus to these entities will also be projected for a long time to come in the form of yearly excess revenue distributions. This, of course, is in addition to the two contracts and excess revenue distributions to all the Hemp growers.
It creates a Win, Win, Win New Model scenario!

It has tainted our air, water, food, and clothing. To provide for a thriving Future, Collaboration is the best way to go. That way everyone is working together instead of against each other, and, in addition, all connected Cooperatives can share ideas, resources, cultivars, equipment, sales and marketing of the raw materials, etc., etc., in addition to the increased excess revenues that will be shared by all Shareholders.
