With Congress’ passage of last week’s farm bill
that decriminalized the hemp plant, North Carolina farmers will have the
choice of adding a needed money crop to their rotations.
“I haven’t read the whole thing. It’s 800 pages
and 6 inches thick, but I think it’s going to be a good thing for North
Carolina,” said Mann Mullen, who has experimented with growing hemp and
processing it.
Mullen is a farmer and the owner of tobacco warehouses in Wilson and Bunn.
President Trump signed the bill, also known as the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, on Dec. 20.
