Advancing Industrial Hemp 2020

Different from most hemp events today featuring thousands of non-professionals, this event is focused on advancing the education of growers who are trying for market share, a higher quality product, a higher CBD percentage and to improve their soil management program. Gain in-depth information on soil analysis, fertilizer and crop nutrition, and pest and weed management from hemp industry innovators and soil health experts.

Soil health experts and hemp industry innovators will provide attendees with real management techniques and information they can take right back to their farms. Speaker names will be announced soon. Sign up for the Hemp Event newsletter to get the latest updates by email. A variety of related companies and representatives will also be on hand to answer questions and speak from experience on addressing challenges and reducing risk to drive whole-farm success.

October 5th will feature 5 hours of informative, educational content led by soil health and hemp policy experts. After that we will open up the Hemp Consulting Rooms where you can talk directly with our sponsors and hemp experts about your individual, hemp farming questions.
