The South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum and the South Dakota Industrial Hemp Association will present “The Future of Hemp,” a program about industrial hemp production in South Dakota, at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6.
The program, free and open to the public, will be held at the museum, 977 11th St., Brookings.
This program will discuss a variety of topics including the difference between hemp and marijuana, how to plant and harvest hemp, and the products made from industrial hemp.
“Since the museum’s exhibit ‘On the Farm Front: Agriculture during WWII’ talks about hemp production during the 1940s, we had a lot of questions about growing industrial hemp today,” said Gwen McCausland, director of the South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum. “We are excited to have representatives of the South Dakota Industrial Hemp Association share their expertise about hemp production in South Dakota.”
The “On the Farm Front: Agriculture during WWII” exhibit is on display at the South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum until March 1.
The South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum’s mission is to inspire a passion for the diverse history, culture and science of agriculture in South Dakota. It is the official state museum for preserving the history of agriculture and rural life of South Dakota as well a department of South Dakota State University. It is the state coordinator for the National History Day program in South Dakota. The museum is located in the historic Stock Judging Pavilion on the SDSU campus at 977 11th St., Brookings. The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 605-688-6226 or visit the museum’s website.
