Alberta to house two new hemp fibre plants?

In Canada, two hemp fibre plants are predicted to develop in Alberta this year, as farmers appear “highly receptive” to the idea of growing hemp for the plants, expected to be operational by 2015.

The other likely plant for Alberta is called Stemia, with construction beginning in April if all goes according to plan.
