From KMA Land:

“They were founded basically in 2007,” said Stripe, “and their holding development basically stated the biotechnology of the hemp industry, and they’ve got different facets of the business that they’re also into. It’s very exciting to have them come here in person to give us a little more direct information, and kind of get some things started here in southwest Iowa.”

Stripe says American Hemp Ventures has worked to spur industrial hemp production in other states.

“They’ve got some groups in Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois,” he said. “Of course, they’ve got some groups in Colorado, where their base is at. But, yes, it’s very exciting that they’ve done what they’ve done. They’ve kind of been through the School of Hard Knocks already. As they’ll tell us, they’re the first ones to admit that there’s mistakes to be made, and there’s a lot of learning to do on a daily basis. So, it’s very exciting.”

Stripe says Monday’s presentation will take attendees through the basics of commercial hemp production.

“If you’ve got an interest in the hemp industry in any facet,” he said, “whether you want to be a grower, an investor, a seed producer, or just a farmer looking just to improve your acres, it’s something for you to come and get the ABC’s of the hemp industry, because that’s something we’re going to touch on.”

Advanced tickets are available for $25, which covers the seminar and meal. Anyone wishing to attend should RSVP by calling SCIA at 712-246-3455 as soon as possible.

Facebook comments show people excited about the hemp industry that is now legal in Iowa. While we wait for rules and regulations to be put in place before the next grow season going to seminars is a good use of interested farmers time.
