Wisconsin’s Industrial Hemp bill has made it through the Senate Ag Committee.  Republican Senator Patrick Testin is a co-author of the bill, and he is pleased with its progress.  “I feel very optimistic and I think we’ll be able to get this on the floor at the end of this month or early November for a vote in the full Senate.”
