Mark Boyer is the first Indiana farmer to grow industrial hemp in a production setting since World War II.
The northwestern Indiana farmer was able to grow hemp this year through a research agreement with Purdue University.
“This past growing season I was able to secure a permit to grow for-research industrial hemp on my farm and i grew 12 acres,” He says. “I was able to do hemp seed oil which differs from CBD oil in that it’s a culinary oil and it’s extracted from a different part of the plant.”
At least 38 states considered legislation related to hemp in 2018.
