     Senator Howard offered the following concurrent resolution:

     WHEREAS, agriculture is an ever-changing and ever-expanding industry; and

     WHEREAS, in order to survive and make a living in today's market environment, farmers must continue to expand the uses of their products and to find ways to enhance the competitiveness of their farms through the development of new agricultural products; and

     WHEREAS, the production of industrial hemp could provide Missouri farmers an additional alternative product; and

     WHEREAS, hemp was one of the first plants to be cultivated by humans, more than 12,000 years ago; and

     WHEREAS, paper was invented using hemp in China more than 2,000 years ago; and

     WHEREAS, hemp was widely grown as a cash crop in Colonial America and was even used to pay taxes. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp, and it was turned into paper at a mill owned by Benjamin Franklin; and

     WHEREAS, two of the most important documents in the history of the United States, the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, were drafted on hemp paper; and

     WHEREAS, Rudolph Diesel designed his engine to run on hemp oil; and

     WHEREAS, an acre of hemp produces four times as much paper as an acre of trees and produces an acid-free paper that lasts 1,500 years compared to wood-based paper's shelf-life of 25 to 100 years; and

     WHEREAS, hemp is naturally pest and disease resistant and therefore grows without the use of pesticides or herbicides; and

     WHEREAS, the roots of hemp penetrate the soil nine to 14 inches deep, bringing subsoil nutrients to the surface and protecting the soil from erosion; and

     WHEREAS, hemp produces one of the strongest natural fibers and will produce 10 times more fiber per acre per year than a fully mature forest. It takes 300 years for a forest to grow while a hemp crop matures once a year; and

     WHEREAS, the production of industrial hemp does not interfere with the regulation of controlled substances in Missouri since industrial hemp contains a very low THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannobinol) level and is harvested before reaching that low level. In addition, a permit is required from the federal drug enforcement agency before research can proceed; and

     WHEREAS, the University of Missouri Research facility is one of the premier agricultural research facilities in the nation; and

     WHEREAS, the development and use of industrial hemp could be in the best interests of the state economy and agriculture in that industrial hemp may be used for the manufacture of rope, sacks, batts, yarn, paper, composite materials, thread, cordage, cloth and other such products as may be made from the fiber or sterilized seed as have been or which may be developed;

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Missouri Senate of the Eighty-eighth General Assembly, the House of Representatives concurring therein, that the University of Missouri be authorized to grow industrial hemp so as to conduct research on commercial uses for industrial hemp; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the University of Missouri submit an annual report of its findings to each successive General Assembly by January 1st; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate be instructed to prepare on hemp paper a properly inscribed copy of this Resolution for the Dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of Missouri.
