Future Farm Maine’s hemp farm is one of the largest in Maine. The three-minute video gives prospective hemp farmers a look at what their future operations could look like in the wake of the 2018 Farm Bill, which is expected to legalize hemp farming in the United States at the federal level.
“Farms that can show they completed a successful harvest are best poised to expand and benefit after hemp farming is legalized under the new bill,” said William Gildea, CEO of Future Farm. “As you will see in our new harvest video, we expect 2019 to be even more bountiful for Future Farm in Maine as the team prepares to double production next year.”
The hemp harvested in the video has been dried and is being prepared for sale or for extraction for CBD products.
