Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, W2493 Hwy ES, will host "Bringing it Home" documentary screening at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 9 in the Big Brown Barn.

BRINGING IT HOME tells the story of hemp: past, present and future and a global industry that includes textiles, building materials, food products, bio-plastics, auto parts and more.  Here in the U.S., hemp could be a money-making crop for farmers and create jobs. But why cant we grow it here?

Despite recent states passing hemp bills, industrial hemp remains illegal under federal law to farm in the U.S.A., where it was once an important crop. Industrial hemp is a non-psychoactive plant, grown in 31 other countries that
makes 1,000′s of sustainable products and offers solutions for global warming, nutrition, poverty and deforestation.
