The Hemp Industry Brings new Products & Farming to Minnesota

Farmers, Manufacturers, & Brand Developers Join Forces to Market Hemp Products.

HASTINGS, Minn. – Minnesota’s hemp harvest has brought new potential for John Strohfus, founder and CEO of Minnesota Hemp Farms, the first approved industrial hemp grower in the state, and the largest producer of hemp products in Minnesota. Strohfus began with 18 acres of hemp as part of a state pilot program in 2016.

“Hemp is not marijuana, that’s probably the tag line,” said Strohfus, who said he is still working to overcome the stigma of the plant. Hemp and marijuana are both part of the cannabis family, but hemp lacks THC, the chemical that creates a high. Minnesota banned hemp production when it was swept up in the federal drug ban six decades ago, but the 2014 passage of a federal farm bill and state legislation in 2015 and 2018 have paved the way for the industry’s renaissance. Strohfus recently left a nearly two-decade IT consulting career to focus on Minnesota Hemp Farms full time. He began his operation as one of seven farms participating in the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s industrial hemp pilot program and works in conjunction with many of the hemp farmers across the state.
