The Illinois Department of Agriculture will host a Hemp Summit on December 17th at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield.

The Illinois Hemp Summit follows the release of USDA’s 2019 Hemp Rules that have raised questions and concerns amongst Illinois hemp farmers and their advocacy groups.
This was the first year for growing hemp in Illinois and the department’s Bureau Chief for Medicinal Plants Jeff Cox says they are getting stakeholders together to discuss how it’s going.

Cox says there will be discussions on new U-S-D-A hemp rules, market analytics, growing and processing.
