It can be planted repeatedly on the same land, and is often used as a “rotation crop” to heal the soil between growing other crops. Hemp produces 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax on the same land, and has the highest yield per acre of any natural fiber. ...
Even if hemp can only produce 300 gallons of hemp fuel per acre, hemp can still provide the energy needed with more land needed. and yes arable land could be left alone, diesel is more efficient than gas. Hemp crops can use less energy to grow and every part of the hemp plant can be...

only about one half the plants produce seeds; but these yield it in such abundance that an acre will yield from three to four quarters at about 40s. per quarter. As this is independent of the fibre produced it is a profitable crop in countries like Russia where the land is not too valu...
Estimated crop yields were 19 tons acre year (dry weight) for CHG stalks that could be used for building construction and 16 tons acre year (dry weight) for leaves could be used as animal forage. Approximately, 1.7 tons of seeds could be harvested per acre per year from variety CHY. ...
