Templates for You\nto Post Comments to the USDA on the Establishment of a Domestic Hemp Production\nProgram<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings,\neveryone,  Recently the USDA posted the\nInterim Final Rules (IFR) for the Establishment of a Domestic Hemp Production\nProgram.  They have opened up a 60 day\nwindow for all interested parties to make comments on these 161 pages of Rules\nand there are some issues with the Rules as written that we need everyone to\ncomment on to effectuate needed changes to these rules before they are\ncompletely finalized next year.  This 60\nday window is closed on December 30th.  I\nhave read all 161 pages of the rules and have compiled a Template for you to\nuse to make it easier for you to file your comments.  We need thousands of people to file comments\nto make sure the rules are the fairest they can be and the best they can be for\nall involved in the nascent Hemp Industry. \nI have created both a word file and a PDF file with these comments.  The Word File is a Template that can be used\nby you to add, subtract, edit and create a custom comment sheet that reflects\nyour ideas.  The PDF file can be used if\nyou are happy with the comments as written and you just want to post them on\nthe behalf of the Colorado Hemp Processing Cooperative (CHPC).  Because some of the issues referenced in the\ncomments can only be changed by Congress or the President, we also ask that you\nto send comments to your Congressional Representatives\/Senators and the\nPresident.  We must flood their in-boxes\nwith these comments to truly make a difference. \nWhen you go to the USDA’s website (posted below) you will see the button\nto push to make comments.  Once you push\nthat button, it will take you to a page with a comments section that only\nallows comments of 5000 characters.  Because\nour comments are much longer than that you can go below the comments section\nand post the whole document which you will have to save on your\ncomputer\/device.  You can post the whole\ndocument there.  If just posting the PDF\ndocument you cannot alter first,   but just post it from where it is saved on\nyour computer\/device on behalf of the CHPC. \nAdditionally please Forward\/Share\/Repost this information on all of your\nsocial media platforms so we can get thousands of people commenting, and that\nis what we really need to encourage the USDA to make effective changes.  The changes we have outlined in our comments\nare crucial to the long term success of the Hemp Industry in America and we\ncan’t express our gratitude adequately to you for your help in making these\nchanges possible.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have also posted\nthe comments on our web site Blog at COHPC.ORG in addition to our Facebook\npages and  LinkedIn page.  If you see them there please Share them to\nadditionally reach all of your contacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                I have created folders with both the Word and\nPDF documents on One Drive and in Google Documents and they are available to\nanyone that has the links below.  The\nbest way to get to the Templates is to copy the link and paste it into your\nbrowser and it should go right to the Templates.  If you have a problem and can’t access them\nfor whatever reason, please send me an email at duanestjernholm@msn and I will\nsend you an email with the Templates attached.  Thank you for your help in flooding Social\nMedia Sites with these Templates as well as your email lists.  Here are the applicable links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
