Hemp Dos and Don’ts

Monday, January 15, 2024 · noon–2 pm

VSU Randolph Farm Pavilion, 4415 River Road, Petersburg, VA


This course will review some of hemp’s basic dos and don’ts. The workshop is excellent for folks interested in hemp but unfamiliar with what they should and should not do to be successful. The discussion will include the different types of industrial hemp, growing conditions, genetics, and post-harvest processing. A representative from VDACS Industrial Hemp will be on site to cover the dos and don’ts from a legal perspective.
