Hemp Grain
Hemp grain is the nutrient-dense seed of the hemp plant, recognized as a “superfood” for its rich balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, plant-based proteins, and essential minerals. Beyond human consumption in the form of hemp hearts and oil, hemp grain is an emerging resource for sustainable livestock feed and industrial applications. Michigan grain production offers farmers a reliable, food-based revenue stream that integrates seamlessly into traditional agricultural rotations.
