Im thinking that eventually for fibre alone it would be worth its weight in gold and if anyone ever wanted paper again. But I wonder if people would actually want to record anything? Debts perhaps?
weasels indeed are blood suckers one wiped out my small pigeon coop (8 birds)
I once ate a chicken that a fox had killed, I caught saw it running away with it in its mouth, just before he a run in with some #6 shot.  Another fox got to see what it was like to be Normandy, when it had a run in with an M1.
Wow I had no idea that raccoons where so bad to cultivated fields. There is a lot of woods for them here to roam in Maine so I haven't heard of them causing trouble. But I do think that is what attacked my goose in the middle of the night once. It Didn't kill him but we had to put him down.

Like I said, I don't know a bunch about uses of hemp other than fiber, though I've heard of the hemp oil. As for feed stock after extruding oil from a seed, the same is true for soybeans, peanuts, sunflowers. Very high protien contents in the meals, hence the use as a pro sup for cattle, but are also digestable for humans. (note I said digestable, not necessarily palatable.)
As for the coons.. there's a saying with them, "what they don't eat or tear-up they sht on." My youngest son's name use to be Coon, though he didn't necessarily sht on anything, but would leave it strewn to get rained on or what ever. He changed when HE had to buy stuff. LOL
