Hemp Field Day
The Purdue Hemp Field Day is a half-day event focused on grain and fiber hemp production, crop diversification, post-harvest handling, and product development.
Researchers, farmers, and industry professionals will share their projects and real-world experiences with hemp. Speakers will present the latest research, and attendees will get the chance to speak with current hemp growers and walk through field plots. Participants will learn about post-harvest handling and processing, as well as uses of the hemp stalks and seeds in food and animal agriculture.
This event is a great opportunity to connect with others interested in the future of this versatile crop. Whether you are a grower, researcher, or simply curious about hemp, The Purdue Hemp Field Day has something for you.
