About

In the last three years, interest in industrial hemp production has exploded across the US. One of the consequences of the hype surrounding industrial hemp production is that people new to agriculture, representing diverse demographics, have been drawn to the industry. As a result, many industrial hemp growers have a limited background in agricultural production, contracting, and the use of crop insurance products.  

What We Do

We want to provide industrial hemp producers, crop insurance agents, and processors with contracting and crop insurance information and resources to assist with mitigating production, financial, and marketing risk.

Why We Do It

Because of the hype surrounding industrial hemp production, many new industrial hemp growers have a limited background in agricultural production, contracting, and the use of crop insurance products.
