Texas Hemp Growers coming to San Angelo, Texas to teach farmers advanced hemp growing

techniques.

Texas Hemp Growers will visit San Angelo, Texas on Saturday,

May 29, 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
  • Compost Tea Brewing
  • 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.

This event will take place at SpringHill Suites by Marriott San Angelo, 2544 Southwest Blvd, San Angelo, TX 76901, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

An optional and free Member Mixer will happen from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at The Penny Tap House, 2412 College Hills Blvd #100, San Angelo, TX 76904.
