Show Notes
On this week's hemp podcast we talk to two members of the Pennsylvania Hemp Steering Committee's leadership team, Chet Lapp and Ben Davies. Together they co-chair the Farmer/Processor Outreach and Education subcommittee.
We talk about their plans to reach farmers and processors, what sorts of challenges the industry faces, and how they will act as a bridge between people in the hemp industry and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture which oversees the industry.
They encourage farmers to get in touch to voice their concerns by emailing [email protected] or by telephone: 717-455-7904.
