“The American Farm Bureau Federation has approved a new policy resolution that urges the repeal of the classification of industrial hemp as a controlled substance. The effort, led by the Indiana Farm Bureau at the national group’s annual meeting last week in Texas, puts one of the largest and most influential mainstream farm lobbying organizations squarely in the pro-hemp camp and on record opposing ‘the classification of industrial hemp as a controlled substance.’ The Farm Bureau before passed a policy resolution supporting industrial hemp research in 1995.”
