The owner of Wisconsin’s first legal hemp store says he has about 35 acres of land contracted at a local farm so he can grow some of his own product. Lawmakers legalized industrial hemp in the state last December. Wisconsin native Joel Peterson and his partner started making plans to serve the new market shortly after that. PriceLand Hemp is now open for business in Black River Falls. Peterson says it could be a lucrative business. He thinks he can grow more than one-million dollars’ worth of hemp on that contracted land.
