Hemp opportunity: cropping up everywhere [eGuide]
As legislators finally catch on to the economic benefits of hemp, farmers, manufacturers and retailers are in a position to be true pioneers.

If there’s one word to describe hemp in America today, it’s disruption.

By spurring change on the farm, in the natural products industry and in the minds of consumers, hemp is reinvigorating entire economies and spawning research that can impact farming for generations to come. It’s at the center of major legislation, as well as a booming supplement industry for hemp extracts high in cannabidiol (CBD).
