CBD & Hemp Rise in Wisconsin
Wisconsin and cannabis are back in partnership after ( 60+ ) years. With the passage of Wisconsin’s hemp farm initiative in November 2017 and the federal farm act of 2018 Wisconsin is set to produce industrial hemp like it once did, and did so well.
Wisconsin once led the nation in hemp harvests during the Second World War. Suppling seed for oils, stalks for fibers, and the hurds or stalky centers for an array of items from paint oils to dynamite cellulose. The game changer for this reunion to Wisconsin farming is the growing demand for CDB and the yet quiet CBG.
