Flint— January 7, 2019 — Limited seating is available for the Industrial Hemp Conference starting 10 am at Factory One, Flint on January 26th.
“This simple plant can do so much good for our environment,” said John Freeman of iHempMichigan.com.
A Major Crop For Farmers
Thanks to the passing of the U.S. Farm Bill, industrial hemp is legal to grow and process. There are uses for every part of the plant and the demand is there for thousands of acres of crop.
“I have processors ready to buy the flower to process,” said Blain Becktold, owner of Down on the Farm, LLC.
