Collapse ▲On July 10, 2018, North Carolina Cooperative Extension Agriculture Agents attended an all-day Industrial Hemp Agent Short Course. The course was conducted by the NC State University Small Grains Extension Team in collaboration with key figures from hemp regulatory agencies and other state-level industrial hemp research programs.
Both in-field and in-class topics included CBD plant row spacing, industrial hemp CBD and grain nutrition, industrial hemp production pathology, CBD and THC testing resources, and regulatory issues and best practices for agents surrounding industrial hemp.
The short course started with a field trip to Broadway Hemp in Harnett County. Broadway Hemp grows, processes, and markets an array of CBD products for consumers.
(Note: there is a temporary issue with the Broadway Hemp website which means you may not be able to view it from your computer. However, I was able to get to it from my mobile device.)
I posted photos below of the farm which includes greenhouse and field production of hemp for CBD production.
