A Madison County farm is growing the first legal hemp in this state in 80-years.

On Friday Governor Cuomo signed a bill that will allow industrial hemp to be sold and transported under an existing pilot program.

The pilot program was finalized earlier this year and only one farm has received licensing to grow, JD Farms in Eaton.

The farm is working with Morrisville State College to grow legal hemp.

“The Journal News” reports that Broome County Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo said industrial hemp will help agriculture in the state and provides manufacturing opportunities.
