Where does hemp stand? A Day in the Life of a Lancaster County Hemp Farmer

from A Day in the Life of Lancaster County · host LNP | LancasterOnline Podcasts

Hemp was legalized in 2019, triggering a boom in Lancaster County where farmers wanted to cash in on what seemed like a cash crop. The rush into the industry flooded the market with CBD and hemp products, causing prices to fall off a steep cliff. In that time some were left in regulation limbo, waiting for FDA guidelines, a new farm bill, and eventually dealing with new definitions under the most recent federal funding bill. Now six years later, where does the industry stand? To answer that, LNP | LancasterOnline Podcasts travelled to southern Lancaster County for this Day in the Life episode to catch up with hemp farmer Steve Groff.Learn more at lancasteronline.com/podcasts
