Critical reception

Publishers Weekly said about the book, "For anyone interested in hemp cultivation or simply learning more about the newest 'gold rush' crop, this is well worth picking up."Шаблон:Sfn

Library Journal said the book aimed to "convince farmers and legislators not to repeat the mistakes of the past by allowing farmers to control more of the process from seed breeding, distribution, and processing", and the author's first-person style had "often comic results", finding the book "compelling and sometimes inspiring and the advice is practical".Шаблон:Sfn

A reviewer writing for The Idaho Press said "[this book is] for farmers only. It's not for weekend dabblers or big corporations" and "Fine is honest but not discouraging in his tales of 'misadventures', told with the kind of humor farmers share at the local café...he's done the hard work of making mistakes, so you don't have to".Шаблон:Sfn
