CDA Report on Hemp in Animal Feed

Well it's official.  Agents across the state are getting hemp questions and we have gone into Def-Com 5 in gathering information for potential producers.  We will soon be having meetings on how we are going to approach this and what resources are available to give out.

My new "Hemp" folder in my documents is growing by leaps and bounds.  Hopefully soon we will have all the info we need to answer questions.  In the meantime, I thought you might enjoy this pdf from the Colorado Department of Ag that was written in 2017.

Insect Management Considerations in Hemp Production



With the passing of the new farm bill, we have officially been given the green light to talk about hemp production here at CSU Extension.  I am very early in the process of gathering information to have at the ready, but have been accumulating info as more and more people come looking for knowledge.

The following link came in an email this morning and it is pretty outstanding if you are looking to begin growing hemp.  As always, please call or come in if we can be of any help with your new or existing venture!
