New York Gov. Wants to Make State ‘National Leader in Hemp Production’
In his 2018 State of the State Budget proposal, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has earmarked $650,000 for a hemp processing plant, $2 million for a state-run hemp seed certification program, and plans to import “thousands of pounds” of industrial hemp seed into the state to ensure farmers have “access to a high quality product” and ease “the administrative burden” on hemp farmers.
