Colorado Sticks to the 2014 Farm Bill Rules for Hemp in 2020
Description
Why will the state of Colorado continue to operate its hemp program under the 2014 Farm Bill this growing season instead of adopting a USDA's interim final rule? We talk to Colorado hemp manager Brian Koontz from the Colorado Department of Agriculture to find out.
We'll hear about the decision not to adopt the new rules, plus will get an overview of the hemp industry in Colorado, including a look at the CHAMP initiative -- the Colorado Hemp Advancement & Management Plan.
Plus, will hear how the coronavirus is disrupting the hemp industry events in Pennsylvania and beyond.
