It is that time of year again! Our team of university researchers is seeking Midwestern (WI, IL, IN, and MI) grower-cooperators to conduct #hemp variety trials in 2024 via funding from #USDA SAC-NIFA and #SARE! Grain? Fiber? Flower? We have opportunities available for hemp growers of all types as we develop partnerships with some of the premier genetics providers in the industry! Worried about input costs? All seed and associated shipping costs are covered as part of the program. Growers simply need to be licensed and collect basic agronomic data throughout the season using SeedLinked. Some growers may even qualify for a $500 stipend! Interested growers and seed providers can learn more by reaching out here or at palberti@wisc.edu! The Midwestern Hemp Research Collaborative (MHRC) is comprised of researchers from University of Wisconsin-Madison, Michigan State University, Purdue University, University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign and Michael Fields Agricultural Institute.
