At this time, 75% of southern states allow industrial hemp growing, whether for commercial purposes, under a pilot program, or as part of a research effort. The other 25% have tried to legalize hemp growth, but the bills have either stalled or died in committee. The southern United States has a long history of agriculture and hemp is their future!

South Carolina’s pilot program has doubled this year so we’ve chosen to host the 2nd annual Southern US Hemp Growers Conference & Expo at the 4-star Hilton Myrtle Beach, a part of the Kingston Plantation Resort.
