HB 171 passed the House on a unanimous 60-0 vote, while clearing the Senate by a margin of 26-3. Local Reps. Dan Laursen, R-Powell, David Northrup, R-Powell and Jamie Flitner, R-Greybull, all co-sponsored the bill, along with Sens. Hank Coe, R-Cody, and R.J. Kost, R-Powell. The reason why is simple: Growing hemp makes sense for Wyoming. Banned under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, industrial hemp had the misfortune of being lumped in with its cousin marijuana, despite its many industrial uses, the ease with which it can be grown and its inability to get you high. Because of its durability and resistance to salt water, folks have been finding uses for hemp in this coun- try since the colonial days; it’s still used in literally thou- sands of products, many of which are legally made and sold in the United States. It’s just been illegal to grow it. All that changed in December, when Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed the Farm Bill, which effectively legalized hemp, though with certain restrictions. And now Wyoming farmers stand poised to cash in, with a chance to beat other potential growing states to the punch. Dozens of other states have enacted legislation redefining hemp as an agri- cultural commodity and permitting hemp cultivation in some way, shape or form. HB 171 would create a set of rules for growing hemp in this state, and would be a substantial boost to Wyoming’s economy. The diligence shown by our legislators to push HB 171 through shows our forward-thinking elected offi- cials have their eyes on the future, knowing what hemp production could mean to our economy. Farmers, manufacturers and others are excited about the seemingly unlimited possibilities associated with industrial hemp production. We are, as well. The version of HB 171 that now sits in front of Gov. Mark Gordon includes funds to allow the Wyoming Department of Agriculture to buy the supplies and equipment to get this program going, and going soon. “We’ve been dragging our feet long enough on this,” said Rep.

The competition marked the Powell team’s last regular tournament for the COURTNEY CHILDERS season, as they’re now preparing for the state tournament, March 7-9 in Riverton. At the Greybull meet, PHS seniors Shaelynn Theriault and Bennett Walker tied for first place in Lincoln-Douglas debate. Theriault also received third place in oratory, while freshman Aiden Chandler took fourth. In program oral interpretation (POI), junior Duncan Bond placed fifth and sophomore Augusta Larsen earned sixth place.
