In today’s episode, we bring in a hemp expert from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture: Her name is Margaret Wiatrowski and she is the Industrial Hemp Program Coordinator in the Plant Protection Division for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Margaret and I discuss the details of the MN Pilot Program for industrial hemp and how it will transition into the upcoming Commercial Program. We discuss everything from how the industry is evolving to licensing and testing procedures, and so much more! We hope you enjoy this episode, as she is a great resource for growers and processors throughout Minnesota.

In our very first episode of the Prairie PROducers Podcast, I sit down with Paul and Tim Seehusen and ask them everything from why the hemp industry to how farmers can get involved, even if they’re a bit skeptical. We discuss the vision behind Prairie PROducers and where Paul and Tim foresee the future. Tim talks about the process it takes for farmers to grow industrial hemp and Paul discusses the unlimited potential and impact industrial hemp fiber will have in the ag industry.

This summer, Prairie PROducers is launching a Podcast called The Prairie PROducers Podcast.

At Prairie PROducers, we grow and process industrial hemp fiber into user-specified sizes, feeding American-grown hemp fiber back into the American supply chain. As the very first hemp fiber processor in the state of Minnesota, our goal is to provide information and education on industrial hemp and explain the benefits and relationship of hemp and the agriculture industry. We will be talking to people in all levels of agriculture; from policy makers and university experts to equipment dealers and seed manufacturers, and many other hemp related companies that have already began paving the way throughout the nation, but most importantly, we will be talking to the farmers – the hard working men and women who have dedicated their lives to providing the food, fuel and fiber of our modern lives.

You see, industrial hemp fiber has many purposes and possibilities, including the solution to man-made problems; it can reduce our carbon footprint, it can draw out toxins from our soil, it can clothe us, it can create biofuel and remove our dependency on foreign oil, it can be used to build sustainable housing, it can decrease our dependence on paper, plastics, and nonbiodegradable products. We finally have the ability to put not only our health, but also the health of the planet first!

You can find our podcast on our website, prairieproco.com or wherever you prefer to listen to your podcasts!  And if you or someone you know personally would like to be interviewed, please contact us.
