4th Annual Hemp Hoe Down: Black Hills South Dakota
The Hemp Hoe Down is an educational event aimed at informing attendees about the benefits of industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is the healthiest food source and the longest and strongest natural fiber. It produces the most bio-mass and has the plant world’s highest percentage of cellulose, the building blocks of paper, plastics, and bio-composites.
