Join Mandi Kerr and Kelly Rippel, Co-Founder and Vice President at Kansans for Hemp on Tuesday morning’s episode of Moving ^HEMP Forward.

After co-founding Kansans for Hemp and helping in the legalization movement in 2018, he was appointed to the industrial hemp research advisory board under the Kansas Department of Agriculture and now serves in his third term. Kelly represented Kansas and the United States at the World Hemp Congress in Slovenia and works as a crop adjuster with Zurich North America / Rural Community Insurance Services.
