Growing interest in the potential of hemp as a viable agricultural and economic opportunity has sparked conversations across Ulster County.
To build on this momentum, the Fields of Opportunity: Ulster County Hemp Conference serves as a platform to explore the possibilities for developing a local hemp-based industry. The conference aims to bring together farmers, researchers, processors, and community and business leaders to discuss the latest research, production practices, and market opportunities. By fostering dialogue and collaboration, the event seeks to lay the groundwork for a connected hemp community in the region.
Organized by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County, in collaboration with the Ulster County Department of Economic Development, this full-day conference will feature expert presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions focused on hemp grain, fiber, and waste utilization. Participants will learn about recent developments in hemp grain, fiber, and waste utilization, as well as ongoing research and innovation led by Cornell University and partners across New York State.
Whether you are already involved in hemp production or are exploring its potential within your business, this conference offers a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and contribute to the future of hemp in Ulster County and beyond.
