Hemp has the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It
Happening Now
Urgent Request For Legislation
Legislation is needed to move the Industrial Hemp Program to the USDA. We have a small window to accomplish this to save farmers the grower fees for next season.
Hemp at a Crossroads
When hemp returned to American fields in the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills, it was a moment of rebirth. For the first time in decades, farmers were free to plant a crop once prized for its fiber, grain, and seed. The vision was vast: hemp-based textiles, nutritious foods, sustainable plastics, biochar, and new opportunities for rural communities.
