Jefferson City – The future of hemp production in Missouri is much brighter thanks to the leadership of Senator Mike Cunningham (R-Marshfield), Representative Rick Francis (R-Perryville), and Representative Don Rone (R-Portageville) who have worked to pass laws advancing our state’s newest agricultural industry.
“Missouri hemp growers will now have greater freedoms to grow as previous acreage restrictions have been removed,” said Tom Raffety, from Charleston, Missouri and President of the Missouri Hemp Producers Association. “Additionally, our friends and partners who are researching hemp at our universities in Missouri have now had restrictions, barriers, and limitations removed from their important progress.”
SB 133, an omnibus agriculture bill which has been sent to Governor Mike Parson – a farmer and rancher, himself – contains the provisions related to industrial hemp production in Missouri. Hemp is an incredibly versatile plant used to create and manufacture diverse products which benefit people’s lives including textiles, health foods and health products, biodegradable plastics and construction materials.
The Missouri Hemp Producers Association will also continue to monitor, comment, and take action on the USDA regulations which will be issued under their forthcoming Hemp Implementation Plan.
Hemp producers from across the state have joined together to form the Missouri Hemp Producers Association (MHPA), a nonprofit, aimed at protecting the interests of Missouri Hemp Producers while creating a thriving marketplace through research, communication and legislative advocacy.
“We will move hemp production forward in Missouri to be the best state in the nation for production, producers, and products,” said Raffety. “This soon-to-be law is one more indication of the great possibilities for this great product in our great state!”
