The Minnesota Department of Agriculture invites anyone interested in hemp and hemp production to its 2022 Industrial Hemp Forum.
The half-day virtual evert will be held Feb. 9 from 9 a.m. to noon. The event is free to attend.
Forum topics include updates on the MDA’s hemp licensing requirements, new inspection requirements for those processing hemp into other products, and opportunities in fiber production.
“Our virtual forum is designed for anyone currently involved in the industry or those interested in getting involved with hemp production, processing, or marketing,” says MDA Assistant Commissioner Whitney Place. “We want to share as much information as we can about this crop so growers and processors can be successful.”
2022 will be the second year Minnesota will operate under a federally approved state plan that governs hemp production and regulation. The state previously worked under a hemp pilot program from 2016-2020.
