Hemp Study For Animal Feed Heads To Colorado Governor

DENVER (AP) — Colorado livestock could be eating hemp under a bill that awaits the governor’s signature.
The state House voted 63-0 Friday to direct the Colorado Department of Agriculture to study the feasibility of allowing farmers to use hemp in animal feed. Currently the practice is forbidden.
Hemp is a non-intoxicating cousin of marijuana. The federal government started allowing farmers to grow hemp under limited circumstances in 2014.
