Marty is a 5th generation land steward that is going on his second year of planting and researching hemp for fiber purposes.  Marty and his partner Michael joined forces and began Heartland Hemp Coop.  The coop brings hemp farmers together to have a safe place to bring and sell their products.  The coop opened their doors in November of 2020 and will soon be accepting new memberships.  Marty shares with us the vision of the coop and how it came to be.  The coop has big plans for the future and is looking to possibly serve parts of Indian, Kentucky and Ohio.  Marty talks about the idea of hemp leading to organic, and the cost of entry to farm for hemp fiber purposes.  If you're in Southern Indiana, Northern Kentucky or Eastern Ohio and are looking for a community to align your farming vision with, check out Heartland Hemp Coop.  Also, if you're looking to invest, the coop does sell shares to interested investors.
