New federal law could end hemp industry, Oregon businesses warn
Original: New federal law puts an end to the hemp industry, Oregon businesses say
Oregon hemp producers say a newly enacted federal law will effectively shut down the state's hemp industry, a sector that grew rapidly after the 2018 farm bill legalized hemp nationwide. Industry figures warn the tighter federal rules threaten farms, processors and jobs across Oregon, one of the country's leading hemp-producing states.
Why now: Businesses and workers are reacting to the immediate threat the new federal law poses to their livelihoods.
