Hempoint provides seed for historic planting

Hempoint supplied seed for the historic planting of 60 acres on the Colville Reservation in Washington (USA) that will be harvested this autumn. The crop is among the first allowed under the state of Washington’s government controlled industrial hemp research pilot program and the first on tribal lands. The lands are under the 12 Confederated (native American) Tribes of the Colville’s program to increase revenue for tribal members and create jobs to replace those of a lagging timber industry.
