“Hemp is HOT!”  So says Marji Graff, CEO of the Okemo Valley Chamber of Commerce in Central Vermont. And it is wonderful to hear her enthusiasm since hemp is sprouting in force within the state. 

Vermont has an opportunity to help lead the way in the production of hemp in America, where it has been a Federal offense for the past 70 years.  

Currently, the state has 12 registered growers and if American Seed and Oil Company has its way, there will be 1,000 acres in hemp production by the spring of 2015.  MORE
