Hemp OK
The Idaho Senate votes 30-5 in favor of the industrial hemp legalization bill. HB 126 had already passed the House. Idaho is the last state in the Union to pass Hemp legislation. Braden Jensen of Idaho Farm Bureau’s Governmental affairs:
"And it's on the way to Governor's desk for consideration, so we're excited to see this bill has passed the consideration of the legislature and is finally advancing for our growers," said Jensen.
Idaho growers have waited decades for a cash swing crop, that's easy to grow in Idaho. And despite getting into the Hemp game late, Jensen says there are advantages.
