Organic hemp production offers an marketing opportunity. Fertility is one of the best options for good weed control. Organic hemp production will be most productive following a perennial legume such as alfalfa, in a heavily manured or composted field, or after summer fallow. Refer to and be familiar with the certification requirements of organizations like Organic Producers Association of Manitoba Co-operative Inc.- OPAM
Most Industrial Hemp processors have specific organic grain markets. A price premium of 50 to 60% is generally paid to contract holders. At present the market is not being filled with organic grain. Contracting production is encouraged.
