TXHIA East Texas Regional Hemp Conference

The Texas Hemp Industries Association will be hosting the East Texas Regional Hemp Conference to be held at the Barnhill Center in Brenham, TX on October 20-22.  Our event is the Monday after the Brenham Texas Art and Music festival.  The TXHIA is a farmer first association who brings in speakers and vendors to educate farmers interested in cultivating hemp.  This event is a great opportunity to network with individuals who want to grow, processor, manufacture and serve the hemp farmer communities with ancillary products and services such as testing, implements, irrigation, etc.

Hemp serves as a badly needed rotation crop for our famers that will help restore nutritional integrity to our soils and food and feed products and help revitalize our rural economies through the development of processing and manufacturing facilities.

Our West Texas – San Angelo conference in August was well received and attended, our video that conveys much of the intent of the TXHIA can be seen here.
