Hemp is a versatile plant with many uses, from food and fiber to fuel and industrial products. But where is it most likely to grow? The ideal places for hemp production are far from the equator and closer to the poles, with flat fields, hot days and cool nights, plenty of water and nutrients, and short summers. Colorado and Oregon are two of the best places for hemp production in the world, thanks to their landscapes, soil, elevation, and climate. New York also has certain advantages for hemp growers, such as the ability to sell products only made from hemp grown in the state.
Other states may be considered hemp-friendly, but they don't compare to these bright stars. To ensure success in hemp production, it's important to understand the rules and best practices for growing and harvesting hemp, as well as the cost of transporting fiber or grain when evaluating potential profitability.
