Attendees will be able to see and experience the “Permanent Cover Cropping System” he uses on his 70 acres of CBD hemp production fields.
A line-up of amazing speakers provides an opportunity to learn from others within the hemp industry. Numerous demonstrations will take place throughout the day including:

In addition, there will be a soil health demo, soil pit, and a hemp fiber plot to observe.

He’ll be talking about how hemp is making its way into racing.
