Exactly. Hemp is in the cannabis family but contains little if any THC. It’s bred specifically for fiber purposes (and seeds for bird food and oil). If I remember right, there are only one or two strains of hemp allowed to be grown for this purpose and it’s more like a giant farm growing corn or soybeans than a growhouse or outdoor operation for growing cannabis for human consumption. I doubt the price for an acre of industrial hemp is anywhere close to what an acre of,say Willie Nelson’s Sour Diesel or whatever. This could be a huge win for farmers.

Just a note. Most medical and legal consumable marijuana is grown indoor. Better controls over production, quantity and quality and less chance for bugs and other stuff that makes it less profitable outdoors.
