According to Croptoberfest, “We find ourselves in a tremendously exciting time in history.

We launched Croptoberfest to assist in these efforts.”

The educational seminar will feature many distinguished speakers such as Joe Beckerman, Principle of Hemp Ace International and longtime cannabis agriculture activist, Dr. Alan Schreiber President of Agricultural Development Group, Inc. which provides independent research and consulting services to agriculture industries, and Jedidiah Haney who founded Evergreen Industries SPC.
