Minnesota farmers are putting Hemp in the News this spring, with a new crop that marks a new era.
With the legalization of hemp in 2018, more than 500 Minnesota farmers have dashed into the new industry. With many attending Hemp 101 classes, expectations and hopes are high for this amazing ”new” crop.
