Pennsylvania Hemp Steering Committee Farmer Outreach & Education
b'
On this week\\u2019s hemp podcast we talk to two members of the Pennsylvania Hemp Steering Committee\\u2019s leadership team, Chet Lapp and Ben Davies. Together they co-chair the Farmer/Processor Outreach and Education subcommittee.
We talk about their plans to reach farmers and processors, what sorts of challenges the industry faces, and how they will act as a bridge between people in the hemp industry and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture which oversees the industry.
They encourage farmers to get in touch to voice their concerns by emailing farmerprocessoroutreach@gmail.com or by telephone: 717-455-7904.
