Schumer stood at the Tioga County Government Building, in Owego, as he doubled down on his push to pass the <i>Hemp Farming Act of 2018 </i>through Congress. Schumer said the bill could help unlock hemp’s full potential as an agricultural commodity in Tioga County, throughout the Southern Tier and across Upstate New York, by removing it from a federal list of controlled substances. Farms across the Southern Tier have partnered with affiliated growers and the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets to understand the best agricultural practices and market potential for various types of industrial hemp. These farms and the State of New York would benefit greatly from this legislation which could enhance their production and research efforts. </p>"}}
