Texas Hemp Growers coming to Waxahachie to teach farmers advanced hemp growing
techniques
Where? Waxahachie Chamber of Commerce (102 YMCA Dr., Waxahachie, 75165)
When? Saturday, Mar. 6 from 9a – 3p
Texas Hemp Growers will visit Waxahachie, Texas on Saturday, Mar. 6, to teach
advanced growing techniques to hemp farmers.
According to data from Texas Department of Agriculture, over 1,400 hemp licenses
were issued in 2020, totaling over 5,800 acres and 6 million square feet of greenhouse
grow space. At least 300 growers harvested a crop in Texas’ first year, with less than
10% failure.
Many growers experienced challenges, such as excessive heat, infestations, and
uncontrollable weather.
The six-hour Advanced Grower Master Class builds on what was learned by Texas
growers in the first year, and features concepts to help farmers improve their yields.
● Best Practices throughout Texas
● Building organic super soil
● Lighting and PAR
● Organic Pest Control
● Irrigation
● Low and high-stress training
● Selling your crop
“Quality education is the key to expanding Texas’ share of the hemp industry,” said
Zachary Maxwell, president of Texas Hemp Growers. “Our new classes build upon the
foundation we helped lay earlier in 2020 when we taught beginner classes throughout
Texas.”
The late start for farmers in 2020 created unintended challenges, such as early
flowering plants. Texas Hemp Growers encourages farmers to plan ahead and expect to
plant outdoors by mid-March to early April.
Our limited attendance Master Classes respect current COVID precautions while still
allowing growers to visit and learn face-to-face.
An optional and free Member Mixer will happen from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at College
Street Pub, 210 N College St, Waxahachie, TX 75165.
