Hemp Crops Bring Notable Returns for Wisconsin Farmers in 1943
Wisconsin agronomist A. H. Wright reports that hemp grown on suitable land yielded gross returns of 100 to 150 dollars per acre in 1943 for government fiber mills. After 20 to 30 dollars per acre in costs, net returns ranged from 75 to over 125 dollars per acre. Poorly chosen land reduced results, underscoring the need for uniform high productivity.
