Mike Henderson attended the 2019 Pennsylvania Hemp Summit last October 7-8, 2019. It was a 2-day event held in the Lancaster County Convention Center.
The recently passed Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the Farm Bill paved the way for the creation of a new industry, industrial hemp farming, within the state, opening up new opportunities.
The Hemp Summit served as a celebration of Pennsylvania’s first full year of hemp production under new regulations set forth by the Farm Bill. It also brought together various sources of knowledge and expertise to assist those involved in every aspect of this new industry.
Vendors on display and attendees at the Summit included independent and corporate producers, hemp advocacy groups, consultants, CBD and fiber product vendors, fertilizer vendors, hemp processors, banks, attorneys, testing labs, greenhouse manufacturers, seed suppliers, and farm machinery suppliers.
