The discussion with Mr. Bracht focused on the differences between hemp and marijuana, what has happened with hemp farming in Nebraska; changes in the law; what stringent oversight by the State means for hemp farming and farmers in Nebraska; and the effect of the USDA rules on hemp farming issued in late October.
