Cool resource from Colorado Department of Agriculture! "The Hemp Networking Directory is where Colorado growers, manufacturers, processors, and consumers connect in support of a strong future in our hemp industry. CDA is creating the Directory to broaden collaboration opportunities for Colorado’s hemp production. To uplift our state’s growing industry, CDA is working to strengthen the hemp supply chain by connecting the different segments of producers, processors and end users to facilitate domestic supply chain continuity. Through the directory, CDA is working to spark connections and increase collaboration between businesses in the industry and those who are looking to expand or start anywhere along the hemp supply chain.” The Colorado Hemp Networking Directory

Midwest Hemp Technology Brings More Processing Power to Kansas Grateful for the team at New West Genetics! We're witnessing high performance results from NWG ABOUND seed, it is bred in the Midwest to match the Kansas growing environment. Even in extreme drought conditions, dryland hemp performed well this year. We've now seen two seasons of success with ABOUND varieties and plan to continue building our growing and processing plans around NWG seeds. -Sarah Stephens, Midwest Hemp Technologies
