Hemp farming involves the cultivation of the hemp plant, which is a variety of the Cannabis sativa species. Unlike its psychoactive counterpart, marijuana, hemp contains low levels of THC, the compound responsible for the "high." Hemp is grown for various purposes, including fiber, seeds, and oil, making it a versatile crop for industries such as textiles, food, and construction. Farmers typically grow hemp in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. The plant is known for its rapid growth and can be harvested within a few months. Hemp farming is gaining popularity due to its environmental benefits, such as improving soil health and requiring fewer pesticides compared to traditional crops.
