2020 Hemp Summits Open For Registration

Hemp production is gaining traction on U.S. farms, as growers explore the potential agronomic and business opportunities available today.

To support those efforts, Farm Journal has launched a series of Hemp Summits in 2020 to help growers learn agronomic practices, identify market opportunities and know the legal ins-and-outs for the crop in their state and nationally.

Along with those, speakers at each event are addressing specific topics such as:
- How to source high-quality seed
- Hemp nutrient needs
- Pest, weed and disease management
- Equipment needs for planting and harvesting
- Financing options

Upcoming events are scheduled now for Chicago, Raleigh, N.C., and Portland, Ore.
