Included in the massive 2018 Farm Bill that was approved by the U.S. House and Senate is the legal production of industrial hemp. Nebraska Farm Bureau’s Director of National Affairs Jordan Dux says there is resurgence in the interest of hemp as a cash crop. It has been around for thousands of years
Dux says this could be a big boom for Nebraska farmers.
Dux says the challenge is finding a market for the product. Hemp has dozens of uses and can be used for making clothing, shoes, detergent, non-toxic diesel fuel, paint to pet food and bedding.
