Hemp is a crop grown in Denmark. In the United States hemp is not allowed to be grown because some people make it into an illegal drug named marijuana. The soil conditions in Denmark vary greatly. In Jutland where most of the farming is centered the soil is a sandy podzolic. Podzolic is a kind of soil which is sandy and gray in color and has a limited amount of minerals and nutrients.
Danish farmers use a lot of fertilizer to help produce good crops.
Some of the most important industries in Denmark are pork, beef and dairy. Ninety percent of the income comes from animal production. Some of the major industries on a Danish farm are raising hogs, beef or dairy cattle and chickens. The Denmark cooperative was started by a young man named Stilling Anderson. Anderson, who lived near Hjedding, made an agreement with the dairy farmers to take their milk to a central churning station for processing.
