then they would collect the seeds, If they were doing seperate harvests for your reasons, there would be no seeds.

Apparently: The female produces large amounts of seed, and the male produces pollen. The staminate plants generally are shorter in height than the pistillate. The differences between these two necessitates two periods of harvesting. The first harvest is around mid-August when the male plants are pulled. The second harvest of female plants is a little later when the seeds are ripe (Steam, 1975). www.siu.edu/~ebl/leaflets/hemp.htm I suspect this refers to countries where a lot of manual labor is still used in agriculture. I've read in Canada industrial hemp is grown highly mechanized like corn and wheat are and harvested by combine - I think they probably just write off any attempt to separate the plants and go for fiber as the crop.
