This article seems to miss that the ban has likely already killed the industry. The ban comes into effect by late 2026 and it takes a few months to grow hemp. I can’t imagine being a hemp farmer and hope that Congress gets their shit together and passes something that allows your crop to be sold. At this point I have to imagine most hemp farms have either pivoted or been sold off.
I suspect some big companies are going to scoop up these farms and in a few years once marijuana is federally legal they’ll switch to that.
