Hemp farming

In 2019 there were 5430 acres of hemp growing in Arizona, but by 2021 there were only 156 acres of hemp being cultivated.[1]

Collapse

Some factors contributing to the failure of CBD hemp in Arizona were: poor sources for seeds, inconsistent genetics, diseases, and a lack of knowledge about the hemp life cycle.[2]
