AMP Industrial Hemp CT
1 Freedom 4 All has announced the launch of the AMP Industrial Hemp CT program, funded by the National Association of Conservation Districts. This generational award will fund up to 26 Connecticut farmers to collectively grow 130 acres of industrial hemp (non-CBD) for building materials, animal bedding, and more.
They are now in the process of recruiting farmers to commit 5 acres to grow hemp. Farmers who grow 5 acres of hemp in one or more of the ‘27-’29 growing seasons will receive:
- $9,166.67/year for the 5 acres of industrial hemp grown ~ just for participating
- Guaranteed buyer for your harvest
- Free hands-on training in hemp cultivation
- Conservation Planning from local Conservation Districts
- Shared equipment for seeding, harvesting & processing hemp
- Join a new collaboration of industrial hemp farmers to invigorate a farmer-powered industry
Farmers who are interested in participating may apply here.
If you are an organization that supports farmers, please share this information with farmers in your network.
