Hemp

Industrial Hemp has many uses including fiber, CBD oil, food, fabric, and biocomposites.

New York is in the position to become a major producer of hemp. Cornell University is researching the possible barriers to the development such as seeding issues, disease, and pests.

See the resources section on the left hand side of the page.

 Our staff and volunteers can only provide services and advice to licensed hemp growers. If you are a licensed grower and have concerns about your crop please contact Christian Malsatzki.
