The state of Texas had its hemp plan approved by the USDA earlier this year, a move that State Agriculture Commissioner called a 'victory for Texas farmers,' adding that the…

3 Hemp Titans Join Forces and Create Supply Chain

Hemp had been outlawed for decades until Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill. The legislation made an important distinction between hemp and marijuana, defining hemp as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC, the main psychoactive chemical in marijuana.

Within a year, the market for hemp was booming, mainly driven by the demand for hemp-derived cannabidiol. However, it's become quite clear that the hemp supply chain is riddled with issues.

In the U.S., a pair of Senators have introduced a new bill that would promote recycling beverage containers, and here's the kicker, it explicitly stated that…
