It'll be a lean year waterwise, if we don't get more snow. Two of my adjacent neighbors are growing hemp, one for seed, the other for CBD oil. I think their hemp growing careers will be short as very soon the big farms on the eastern plains go into production and plunge profit margins for smaller growers. But who knows?

I chose not to contract with a neighbor hemp farmer because of the potential legal risks. People wait and watch as Washington sits.
