Hemp Farm

        Stephenson grew corn and beans until this year. Chuck Stephenson is the first person in Cass County to grow hemp. Hemp is a plant that can be used for medicine, or made into medicine. It was used for things like parachutes and rope and was used for paper in colonial times. There were about a hundred people on the farm on Friday. Purdue University had a field day. Hemp in from the plant called Cannabis but does not have enough THC to be a drug. Hemp has been legalized crop since 2018. Many people think hemp is bad for you but it is actually good for you. Hemp oil is to help relieve inflammation pain. You can smell hemp from far away, because of its very strong scent. My family has met so many new people from farming.
