The UF/IFAS Industrial Hemp Pilot Project supports broad objectives (hemp variety selection, cropping system development, production economics, invasion risk assessment) at three production locations (Quincy, Hague, Homestead). In addition, an environmental impacts location is located in Gainesville. Roughly 20 varieties of hemp are grown on one to two acres at each production location.
