CNN Highlights Industrial Hemp

A special CNN investigative report, historical timeline, and two video clips present a strong case for changing federal rules so that U.S. farmers can once again raise industrial hemp. The report shows that industrial hemp is now an economic success just across the border in Canada. The report notes that NAIHC board member Dave Monson and fellow North Dakota farmer Wayne Hauge have sued the DEA to overturn federal rules which ban industrial hemp as a U.S. crop. A hearing on their lawsuit is set for Nov. 14 in federal court.
