Shelley E. Huguley Texas A&M AgriLife specialists discuss hemp production, legal issues, budgets and crop insurance in short videos.
A series of short video presentations addressing major issues facing Texas hemp producers is now available. The free series, Economic and Legal Considerations for Production in Texas, addresses issues pertinent to producers considering adding hemp to their operation. We are thrilled to roll out a project we’ve been working on the for the last year, said Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, Texas AgriLife Extension, in her recent Texas Agriculture Law Blog. Thanks to a grant from the Southern Extension Risk Management Education Center, I’ve worked with my colleagues in the Ag Economics Department at Texas A&M to pull together legal and economic resources related to hemp production.

COLLEGE STATION Winter Storm Uri caused at least $600 million in agricultural losses across Texas, according to preliminary data from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agricultural economists.
“A large number of Texas farmers, ranchers and others involved in commercial agriculture and agricultural production were seriously affected by Winter Storm Uri,” said Jeff Hyde, AgriLife Extension director, Bryan-College Station. “Freezing temperatures and ice killed or harmed many of their crops and livestock as well as causing financial hardships and operational setbacks. And the residual costs from the disaster could plague many producers for years to come.”
