Hemp Growers Workshop information
The Hemp Growers Workshop hosted in Bunbury by Don Telfer, of DPIRD, 23 June was attended by more than 25 interested parties. The presentations were legislative (what Industrial Hemp Licencee’s can do & can’t do), the questions and discussions were more expansive. Guest presenter John Muir, a national hemp agronomy consultant, provided some fresh air to the space.
Here is the latest information on hemp growing, in the form of links to articles on the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development web site. These can be difficult to track down at times but are considered the latest information they have.
