Weed Management: Is Wyoming’s Hemp Industry Losing Its Buzz?
The Wyoming Department of Agriculture has issued fewer licenses to grow hemp each year since the program began, but advocates say the industry needs time to grow.
Two fields were planted in June, one near Deaver and the other near Powell, totaling about 137 acres according to Mother’s Hemp Farms owner Dale Tenhulzen. However, the crop grown on the 107 acres in Deaver had to be destroyed.
