Could industrial hemp once again be the future of farming in Pennsylvania following the Farm Bill’s removal of it from the Controlled Substances Act?
Once a thriving crop in Pennsylvania, with its removal from the Controlled Substances Act, state Department of Agriculture spokesperson Shannon Powers says industrial hemp could soon make a comeback in PA.
Powers says the state is well-positioned following a hemp research program which has addressed some of the potential challenges and what does and doesn’t work.
Locally there’s a grow facility in Brookville and a dispensary in DuBois.
