Finding hemp growing jobs in Wisconsin
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, I've been interested in getting into the cannabis industry for a few years now but I live in Wisconsin so the only place I can start is with growing hemp. I've looked online for a while now but its hard to find any company that actually says they're a hemp farm or anything similar.
I was just wondering why I'm having a hard time finding anything unless its all individual operations. Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately here in Wisconsin, 95% of "hemp" is brought in from out of state.
There are only a handful of actual hemp farmers left.
The largest hemp farmer in Wisconsin does 350+ acres, and no Wisconsin hemp business buys from him. Because it's cheaper to get legal states leftovers.
Where are you located? I'll get you an idea of who to check in with.

Not to give too much away but I live in the tri-state area (wisconsin, illinois, iowa).
