With support from Wisconsin’s hemp industry, DATCP continues to focus on ways to best serve and support the hemp grower and processor communities,” DATCP says in a release. “To ensure program continuity, DATCP must promulgate a new emergency rule in order to extend the current hemp program in Wisconsin.
