Eau Claire Area Citizens Learn About Growing Industrialized Hemp

Eau Claire area citizens are learning about how to grow a potentially profitable crop in the area. Farmers from across the area attended a seminar Tuesday night at Chippewa Valley Technical College in Eau Claire to learn about growing industrialized hemp. The crop has only three tenths of a percent or less of T-H-C, so its potency is nowhere near that of marijuana. Officials say the main market is food grade material.
