If you missed Giving Tuesday the Hemp Feed Coalition has a week of promotions and fundraising matches featuring our hemp super star partners. Join as a member for $100 or simply contribute to the future of the Hemp Industry and approval for hemp as animal feed in 2021!

What a year 2020 has been. For most it has been challenging, surprising and sometimes frustrating. It is not hard to find ways to rejoice the end of this year. At the Hemp Feed Coalition we do have a lot to celebrate and we want to share! We are moving forward with gaining nonprofit status, have elected a great Board and have passionate and engaged leaders on our steering committee. You can visit our new, beautiful website;  www.HempFeedCoalition.org, find us on four social media platforms AND most importantly we have submitted the first ever, hemp seed meal animal feed ingredient application for laying hens!

These amazing accomplishments are brought to you by the efforts of our staff, an amazing array of volunteers and most importantly by our members and partners. We have big plans for 2021 and we are excited to invite you to become part of the Hemp Feed Coalition momentum!

This week December 1st – 6th will be our first annual Giving and Membership Drive with a goal to raise $10,000 and gain 100 new members. Each day has a special promotion, beginning Tuesday through Thursday with fundraising matches of $500, (that is 5 new members) each day supported by the Midwest Hemp Council, Myristol and Hempliance. Friday begins our Farmer Appreciation weekend with a $2500 match from Bish Equipment, membership matches from INDHEMP, and a three-for-one membership offer from the Texas Hemp Growers Association.

Become a member and enjoy discounts like 10% off lab services at Eurofins, special offers and invitations and member only communications. To join the Hemp Feed Coalition simply visit our website and donate $100.00. The HFC is ready to move forward on new ingredient applications and feed trials right now. Your membership and contributions are necessary to get hemp by-products approved as a legal feed ingredient and open new markets for farmers, processors and animal producers. Join today and celebrate the end of 2020 by giving to the future of the hemp industry.
