Yuma County also has a cooperative extension outreach program which analyses hemp production in the region and has accumulated data pertaining to the collapse of the industry; The program also partners with farmers to provide practical information pertaining to crop production.[2] The information will be valuable for future hemp cultivation endeavors in the region and other areas around the world with similar climate conditions.
