Las Cruces students grow, study hemp cultivars on campus

By News Editor And Partners • Apr 12, 2021           With hemp cultivation now underway in New Mexico, researchers and students at New Mexico State University are embarking on new studies to help crop growers produce high-quality strains suitable for marketplaces.    In one project, students in Geno Picchioni’s upper-division greenhouse management class in NMSU’s College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences grew hemp cultivars in a supervised classroom setting as part of a research project last fall.   The 2018 United States farm bill removed hemp from the federal government’s most restrictive classification of controlled substances, which paved the way for American farmers to cultivate and distribute hemp as an agricultural product. Hemp, a variety of Cannabis sativa, is commonly grown for industrial uses but must contain less than 0.3 percent of THC, the psychoactive ingredient of cannabis.

NMSU film students launch campaign to encourage stimulus donations to Camp Hope Minerva Baumann LAS CRUCES - A team of New Mexico State University student filmmakers is using the film medium to make a difference in the Las Cruces community. The team shot a film and coupled it with a GoFundMe campaign in an effort to raise $10,000 in 45 days to fund one year of resources for 50 people at Camp Hope, which serves Las Cruces’ homeless population. The campaign, launched in late March, encourages the community to donate a portion of their stimulus checks to Camp Hope. In its first two weeks, the project has raised nearly $2,500.
