Oregon State University continues to see opportunities for providing long-term research designed to build a vibrant hemp economy in Oregon.
The goal is to develop comprehensive market access for hemp growers and enhance the profitability for farms by providing alternatives for biomass and other varietals of hemp, including grain, fiber and other expected uses.
