The South ��ֱ���� Agricultural Heritage Museum and the South ��ֱ���� Industrial Hemp Association will present “The Future of Hemp,” a program about industrial hemp production in South ��ֱ����, at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6. 

The program, free and open to the public, will be held at the museum, 977 11th St., Brookings. 

This program will discuss a variety of topics including the difference between hemp and marijuana, how to plant and harvest hemp, and the products made from industrial hemp. 

“Since the museum’s exhibit ‘On the Farm Front: Agriculture during WWII’ talks about hemp production during the 1940s, we had a lot of questions about growing industrial hemp today,” said Gwen McCausland, director of the South ��ֱ���� Agricultural Heritage Museum. “We are excited to have representatives of the South ��ֱ���� Industrial Hemp Association share their expertise about hemp production in South ��ֱ����.” 

The “On the Farm Front: Agriculture during WWII” exhibit is on display at the South ��ֱ���� Agricultural Heritage Museum until March 1.
