Afternoon presenters include Brian Webster, Business Community Organizer & Consultant, CA-Hemp, Patrick Goggin, Attorney At Law, Hoban Law and Chris Conrad, author / consultant and expert on industrial hemp.
Prop. 64 opened the door to hemp agriculture
Federal law has allowed industrial hemp farming since the end of 2014, however the legislation passed in California’s state legislature was signed into law with a poison pill: It required DEA licenses which are routinely denied. The voter initiative, Proposition 64, removed that condition to move the licensing process forward.
The February 20, 2018 program in Oaksterdam follows up on those changes and includes education and market presentations on:
- Growing Hemp in California
- Buying and Selling Hemp in California
- 2018 California Business Opportunities
It also provides targeted market and regulatory information for:
- Farmers & Industrial Agriculture Growers
- Processors & Service Providers
- Manufacturers & Retailers
Two-tiered ticket prices
Ticket – includes workbook, plus one CHA membership ($60 Value) $200.
Sponsorship – includes two tickets – two workbooks plus marketing opportunity customized for the sponsor. $500.
