BrightMa Farms always in a Green State Of Mind 🌱💚🙌🏾

Grain, Fiber and Floral CBD Varietal trials with SC State 1890 Research & Extension and minority farmers kicks off this month!

BrightMa Farms Host H**p AgTech Summit in Partnership with Puregene AG and Leading Industry, Government, and Educational Institutions

H**p has unlimited potential and has been used for centuries as a versatile material, and its popularity is only growing. H**p can be used to make a wide variety of products, from textiles to automotive parts. H**p is also a sustainable crop that can be grown with minimal inputs. As a result, h**p has the potential to help farmers diversify their crops and earn higher income. BrightMa Farms is committed to helping black farmers succeed in the h**p industry. We have partnered with Purgene AG to expand the BrightMa genetic breeding blueprint for h**p production that is economically viable for small-large scale farmers. We hosted our AgTech retreat for industry, government, and educational partners to discuss our circular economy blueprint for h**p and the economic development train it can become in creating jobs and spur economic growth in underrepresented under served communities. Our goal is to shine a light on the Pure Bright future of h**p and help our farmer network develop the capacity to bring these sustainable solutions to scale.

🌱 On Friday, April 29, , an SC State 1890 industrial h**p partner, and representatives from , visited the SC State 1890 Research & Demonstration Farm in Olar, SC.

The visit was part of local site visits and the groundbreaking ceremony of the BrightMa Innovation Center, located in Orangeburg.

During the site visit, new 1890 farm manager, Zachary Jordan, gave a tour and presentation on the 200-acre farm, which included a preview of the h**p plot. Dr. Florence Anoruo, 1890 h**p researcher, also spoke on current and future h**p production research that she is leading with 1890 Research & Extension.

Anoruo and the industrial h**p pioneers at BrightMa Farms are conducting industrial h**p trials. The collaboration with BrightMa Farm and PUREGENE, the Swiss leader in genomic-based predictive breeding, will ultimately help SC State 1890 expand access to more viable industrial h**p markets for South Carolina minority farmers.
