Verde Leaf Holds First 2020 Workshop For 40 New Hemp Farmers
Verde Leaf held its first educational workshop of the year on Feb. 19, 2020. The one-day interactive session provided updates on research, technology, safety, and production in the agricultural hemp space.
The workshop included panel discussions and a facilitated networking session. Demonstrations of various production systems and planting methods were covered while addressing issues faced throughout the growing season. The focus of Verde Leaf and The Farming Network is to create a support system for our farmers which enriches and empowers, while guaranteeing sales channels. With the assistance of the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, we were able to cultivate a positive environment that allowed members to meet, exchange information, properly complete hemp applications, and forge lasting alliances both with the SCDA and Verde Leaf.
“The agricultural hemp space has unique obstacles. In recognition of the challenges we wanted to provide new farmers resources that would not only empower them but provide them with an arsenal of information to understand the rule and laws in the industry,” said Dr. Jackson Garth, President & CEO of Verde Leaf.
Additional workshops will be available later in the summer 2020.
