THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE IS CHECKING THE T-H-C LEVELS OF ILLINOIS HEMP FIELDS.
THIS IS THE FIRST SEASON FARMERS CAN GROW HEMP IN ILLINOIS…AND STATE AG DIRECTOR JOHN SULLIVAN SAYS THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE PLANTS DON’T HAVE ABOVE POINT THREE PERCENT OF T-H-C. THAT’S THE COMPONENT THAT GETS PEOPLE HIGH.
IF A FIELD IS ABOVE THE THRESHOLD…
THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR ILLINOIS FARMERS CAN GROW HEMP. SULLIVAN SAYS JUST LIKE OTHER CROPS, IT’S BEEN A TOUGH SEASON FOR HEMP BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.
