Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is cannabis cultivated to produce fiber, grain, biomass, or non-intoxicating medicinal compounds, such as cannabidiol (CBD).

Recently, the 2018 Farm Bill legalized the production of industrial hemp in all 50 states. Therefore, many greenhouse and nursery producers are now looking at industrial hemp as a new opportunity for their businesses.

Join Michigan State University Extension for a webinar series to cover the basics of growing industrial hemp and considerations for growers considering entering the industry of this burgeoning crop. Note: Half of the final webinar will cover Michigan-specific licensing information.

When: Thursdays, July 18 – August 8, 2019
Time: 12:30 – 2 p.m. EST
