A recent series of meetings in Texas drew more than traditional farmers and Max offers a look at the changing economic picture for this crop. In addition, Max shares that Texas A&M reported that 400,000 acres of hemp were planted, but it's possible that as little as 40,000 could meet U.S. demand for CBD oil.
