Last week s rainfall brought much-needed moisture to some Kansas wheat fields but left other producers in the far-western part of the state saying, “rain, rain, come again.”

For the past several months, since receiving support from the City of Pittsburg in the form of a $100,000 grant, Terlip has been in the process of setting up his new business, Sunflower Hemp Co., on Rotary Terrace in the city s Northeast Industrial Park. Through that process, Terlip said, the biggest issue he’s dealt with has been trying to get feedback from regulators about whether his business is in compliance with the latest rules governing hemp – which is the same plant as marijuana, but grown differently so that it doesn’t get you high.
