Hemp Growing Best Practices

Before you get started growing hemp…

The Legal cultivation of hemp isn’t as straight forward as you might hope. There are many state and local laws that hinder and prohibit the growing of hemp in any capacity. First, make sure that your state and locale have “hemp friendly” laws and clear methods to apply for licenses. The crop reaped from hemp isn’t one you can take to the local farmers market to peddle. Growing hemp is just the beginning – profiting from your hemp crop depends on the type of hemp you cultivated. Industrial hemp can yield many valuable products that require extensive and time consuming processing. Medicinal hemp grown for CBD products requires a different approach to grow but also has a higher sale price and more direct-to-market for its final product.
