Paul. Maybe you should do a little research.

Lot of folks, far to many to call it a niche market, want clothing made from natural fibers at a reasonable price. Big item here is kids clothing. So there is a market and it's growing.

As we speak people are jumping ship on a lot of things. Consumption of corn based products is down. Pop sales have really taken a hit of the last 10-15 years. Folks worried still about GMO's. And they feel like that they can no longer trust the farmer, the manufacturer or the chemical companies. And it's growing, not shrinking.

Got a local woman here. Not what you would call real bright. Young mother is what she is. Has a 5 years old boy. She reads labels. Nothing that she knows has corn syrup. Nothing if she can help it that may contain GMO's. This isn't some college chick trying to be cool. The is a rural US girl, right here in MN simply trying to be a good mother. I'm not saying shes right or wrong. But this is what you are facing. Not some college kid trying to save the planet. Not PETA protesting outside at KFC. A young mom who gets to pick where she spends he food money. The way this girl is if she had access to kids clothing made from hemp she'd buy it if she became convinced it was better for her kid. And there are a lot of folks out there who are picking. They are saying no. You think they care if you ridicule? Not one little bit. These are also the folks who are reading the latest stuff on pollution and "green" fuels. They ain't buying it anymore. What if hemp oil starts to replace soy oil? Where are you going to be then? What's considered conventional now may not stay that way and wasn't conventional 300 years ago.

Rick
