Prefab Hemp Home Kit Company from Netherlands to Open Branches in Indiana, US West

By Jean Lotus

Europe’s leading prefab hemp building company, which has built more than 65 specialty low-carbon homes, will stake a claim in the United States market with a large-scale hemp processing facility and headquarters in south-central Indiana. A second location is planned on tribal lands in the western United States.  

The US corporate branch of Dun Agro Hemp Group, will seek to replicate the sustainable vertically integrated 28-year hemp operation in Oude Pekela, Holland, which grows, harvests and processes industrial hemp for fiber applications and seed, founder and CEO Albert Dun told Let’s Talk Hemp.

Lynda Parker: Colorado Citizen Advocate Planted Early Seeds for US Hemp Legalization

By Jean Lotus

As Coloradans celebrate Colorado Hemp Week the first full week of June, it’s important to remember the people who helped make the state a leader in the national re-legalization of industrial hemp.

The historic role in hemp’s history of now-septuagenarian Denver-based citizen advocate Lynda Parker should be remembered as an example of how an ordinary citizen, with a cause, can make enormous change, hemp farmer and author Doug Fine told Let’s Talk Hemp.
