“After the event, participant Heather DeRose said, "Attending the educational Hemp Field Day at Lincoln University and getting the opportunity to tour a thriving industrial hemp field was an incredibly enriching experience. I enjoyed meeting fellow hemp producers and researchers while connecting with a passionate community dedicated to the future of sustainable agriculture. The event provided valuable insights into the latest research, innovations, and technological advancements in the field."

"It's clear that hemp is not just a valuable crop, it's a bridge to a more sustainable future, offering solutions in various industries—from textiles to health and wellness. Lincoln's event showcased the collaborative spirit of those involved with the hemp community and their shared commitment to harnessing the potential of this remarkable plant. It was truly an inspiring experience, reminding me of the boundless possibilities for hemp in Missouri and beyond."

What has CBD Done for the Hemp Farmers?
“For our farm, cultivating hemp for CBD flower is helping us research and collect data about farming hemp in Missouri. We’ve selectively shared our research data at state and federal levels to be used in multiple hemp research programs. One of our goals is to use the data we collect to help farmers cultivate hemp successfully in Missouri and other states in the U.S. with similar growing climates.”
