Montana Growing Hemp? (tax, price, eat)

[rickers]

Well that's it ! I hereby declare that I am starting a club for bolo tie wearers on this board. We will call ourselves "The Bolo Boys" ! My bolo tie is braided leather, and the slide is a petrified Meglodon shark tooth with a silver bezel in the center holding a Lapis Lazuli cabochon. I made it about ten years ago.

Heh heh.. Mine's not quite that cool, (just a store bought one) but it sure beats the standard necktie!

Where did you find a petrified Meglodon shark tooth?

[rickers]

My mother bought it years ago, You can buy those things at fossil shops and you can find them your self if you know where to look.

Whoa, mondo cool. Me wants one! Might even get me to wear a neckpiece.

Okay, so even a bolo would look silly with a T-shirt.

Every time my wife comes home with a new T shirt for me I go to work tearing the sleeves off. Next I'll rip the sleeves off of a button up style red and white checkered shirt and run around saying "get er done" !!!

I am looking at writing a grant to set up a hemp processing center in Montana to produce hemp fiber board and other hemp products. I need to identify persons in the state that are growing or could grow hemp that could supply this operation. If you know of anyone, please have them contact me: rpwmson@yahoo.com. Thanks so much.
