Alabama’s agriculture commissioner says he wants farmers in grow more hemp so that more state-made products are available.
Alabama’s first hemp season in 2019 attracted 180 farmers and 70 processors, according to AL.com.
WAFF-TV reports Commissioner Rick Pate made the comments during a visit at a hemp facility in Decatur.
“I’m looking forward to Alabama products, Alabama-grown hemp, and Alabama-processed CBD oil being on the market because that’s the ultimate thing,” said Pate.
Pate told the TV station he thinks Alabama are so far meeting the mark in terms of production.
