iHemp Hour Shows
The iHemp Hour was our way to collaborate and learn as we began to develop the industrial hemp industry in Michigan. With well over 100 conversations over the years, we have covered every aspect from seed to sale. Use this resource as a tool to dive deep into hemp. Rough transcripts have been generated for each show, allowing you to search for the content you need.
While we are off our regular schedule of hosting shows, from time to time we will tackle an important topic. The newest episodes will be at the top. Let us know if there is a topic we should cover.
