HEMP...the Next "Gold" Crop for Our Farmers?
with Casey Roberts
The topic of Hemp has been much talked about for the past three years or so. Some tout it as the “next best crop” for our farm owners and producers…others see it as a gateway to cannabis production and related drug issues. Neither is probably true. So we will look at what it can do, can be used for, what it is and is not, and how it can affect the farmer…positively or not.
