Acknowledgements Introduction Industrial hemp ( Cannabis sativa ) is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. For centuries, its fibres have been used to make ropes, sails and clothing. The species was banned in North America in the 1930s because its leaves and flowers contain a hallucinogenic drug known as delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It was banned internationally in 1961 under the United Nations' Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. In 1998, Canada created Industrial Hemp Regulations under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. These regulations allow for the controlled production, sale, movement, processing, exporting and importing of industrial hemp and hemp products that conform to conditions imposed by the Regulations.

General Comments Introduction Abortion in horses may result from a variety of causes. Infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses or fungi may attack the fetus or its membranes, resulting in fetal death and its expulsion. Other factors such as twinning, hormonal deficiencies or congenital anomalies may also result in death of the fetus and abortion. Some of the more common causes are discussed below.

Industrial Hemp - Production And Management - Manitoba Agriculture And Food Covers varieties; seeding; fertility; pest control; harvest, storage, grading, and yield; as well as general information on crop production and soil quality in Manitoba. By Manitoba agriculture and Food. http://www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/hemp/bko01s01.html

October 2003 Industrial Hemp - Production and Management Hemp is tolerant of light spring frosts, and hard fall frosts will assist maturity by killing green leaf tissue remaining as the seeds mature. Hemp performs well on a range of soil types, but is intolerant of poor drainage conditions - saturated soils will quickly cause stunting, yellowing, and death of plants. Table of Contents: Licensing Information Variety Information Seeding Fertility ... General Information on Crop Production and Soil Quality in Manitoba Licensing Licenses are issued for one calendar year for: cultivating, importing, exporting, processing, distributing, possessing, plant breeding, analyzing, and sampling hemp. License applications, guides and further details are available from the OCS ( http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hecs-sesc/ocs/hemp/licensing_process.htm For example, producers applying for a license to cultivate hemp require the following: Note: Cultivation of hemp is not allowed within one km of a place frequented by people under 18 years of age (example: school). All seeding and harvesting equipment must be thoroughly cleaned before leaving the licensed hemp field. Records must be kept for a minimum of 2 years. This information is provided as a guideline only. Contact Health Canada for detailed licensing requirements (

In 1992, some 1.9 million operators produced $162 billion in crops and livestock. CONTENT All operators provide crop acreage and quantities harvested, inventories of livestock and poultry, value of products sold, land use and ownership, irrigation activities, amount of commodity credit loans, number of hired laborers,federal program payments, and operator characteristics. Selected operators provide additional information on production expenses (including interest), fertilizer and chemical use, machinery and equipment, market value of land and buildings, and income from farm-related sources. FREQUENCY Every 5 years since 1982, for years ending in "2" and "7." There was a census for 1978, between 1974 and 1954 censuses were taken for years ending in "4" and "9." Agriculture inquiries were first asked on the 1840 decennial census. Data collection begins in December of the census year and responses are due the following February 1.

NPGS is a cooperative effort by public (State and Federal) and private organizations to preserve the genetic diversity of plants. The world's food supply is based on intensive agriculture, which relies on genetic uniformity. But this uniformity increases crop vulnerability to pests and stresses. Scientists must have access to genetic diversity to help bring forth new varieties that can resist pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. The NPGS aids the scientists and the need for genetic diversity by: acquiring crop germplasm preserving crop germplasm evaluating crop germplasm documenting crop germplasm distributing crop germplasm Since many important crop species originate outside the United States, the first steps toward diversity are acquisition and introduction. New germplasm (accessions) enter NPGS through collection, donation by foreign cooperators or international germplasm collections. An identifying number such as the Plant Introduction number (PI number) is assigned to each accession. The accession is then evaluated, maintained, and made available for distribution. Through these efforts, NPGS assists in improving the quality and
