Have you heard that the 2018 Farm Bill has legalized Industrial Hemp as a crop and that North Carolina operated a Hemp Pilot Program under the auspices of the former Farm Bill as well? Are you curious about whether Hemp could have a place in your farm’s crop rotations? Can growing Hemp generate a profit for High Country Farms? What do the legal and market landscapes look like for Hemp production in 2019? Are there unique risks or challenges in growing and marketing Hemp in the NC High Country? Find out the answers to these and related questions you may have at a free meeting on Hemp Production Information during the afternoon of Wednesday, 1/30/19, organized by N.C. Cooperative Extension in Watauga County.

Cooperative Extension Service, Dwayne Tate of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and several other experienced local growers, buyers, and processors from North Carolina’s emerging Hemp industry.
