Only 16 days left until the NOCO Hemp Expo! Looking forward to seeing everyone soon to talk about industrial hemp. Confident that 2025 is going to be a great year for growing industrial hemp and for establishing the industrial hemp supply chain from seed to shelf. Happy to be representing South Dakota at the event as a speaker. Industrial hemp for South Dakota means agriculture value added products, stronger crop rotations, diversification of farm income, and healthier soil. #sdhemp

South Africa Reverses Course on Hemp and Cannabis Food Ban, Calls for Industry Consultation In a significant policy shift, the South African government has withdrawn its recently announced ban on foodstuffs containing hemp and cannabis, following strong opposition from industry stakeholders. President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for broader consultation to develop regulations that balance public health concerns with the economic potential of the hemp and cannabis sectors. The now-withdrawn regulations, introduced under the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics, and Disinfectants Act, sought to prohibit the sale, importation, and manufacture of food products containing hemp and cannabis. Minister of Health Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi cited concerns over unregulated imported products and their potential impact, particularly on minors. However, following discussions with industry representatives, the government has opted for a more collaborative approach, pledging to work closely with stakeholders to draft science-based regulations.

Yesterday we kicked off Small Farmers Week at my farm in Warren County, NC. I am truly honored for the recognition.

I am in the hemp business for years. Lack of time and limited funds don’t allow me to attend to many industrial hemp events but I always try to block time in my calendar for NOCO. It is the event you can't miss. Thanks Morris Beegle for organizing NOCO which gives me knowledge, fun and opportunity for meeting old and new friends from many countries. Many thanks again for inviting me as a speaker !!!
