American Hemp Corp. Tackles Hemp In Nevada
Bob Daniell is president and CEO of a small startup company called American Hemp Corporation in Reno, Nevada, where they are working with farmers to build the hemp industry in the Silver State.
Focused on fiber and grain production and processing, Daniell sees huge potential in Nevada and the surrounding region.
\u201cNevada grows 385,000 acres of the world\u2019s finest alfalfa hay,\u201d Daniell said. \u201cI\u2019d like to take over about 10% of that as a cover crop. If we can get 40,000 acres of industrial hemp growing in Nevada, we\u2019ll have a $300 million industry.\u201d
This week on the Industrial Hemp Podcast, Daniell lays out his vision for the company and the various markets they are developing, from biochar to biodiesel to fish food.
Earlier in his career, Daniell was a VP at Siemens, one of the world\u2019s largest manufacturing corporations, where he oversaw North American supply chains, and he brings that knowledge of supply chain development to the hemp industry in Nevada.
According to Daniell there are three segments to a supply chain. Assured supply, which is where the grower and the farmer come into play. Assured refinement, which is where the off-taker, the processor, the handler, the manufacturer come into play. And finally assured demand, the target customers.
Daniell is also involved with the Nevada Industrial Hemp Fiber Cooperative, which is helping farmers develop markets for fiber hemp.
