Industrial Hemp Field Day Scheduled
North Dakota Ag Connection - 08/17/2018
The North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) and Clarence Laub, a pilot producer in NDDA's industrial hemp pilot program, will co-host an industrial hemp field tour on Saturday, Aug. 18 from 9-11 a.m. MDT at 6950 76th St. SW, Elgin.
"The pilot program allows producers to grow industrial hemp for the purposes of agricultural or academic research," said Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. "The program's primary goal is to increase our knowledge of how industrial hemp fits into the
existing agriculture landscape and economy."
Attendees will have a chance to look at the fields, learn more about the production of industrial hemp and ask questions.
Industrial hemp can be used for oil, fiber, textiles, recycling, automotive, furniture, food, paper, construction materials and personal care.
Laub's research is focused on different fertilizer treatments, field techniques and marketing of food grade products.
Attendees should meet in the driveway of the Laub farm to caravan to the field.
