Theo - Texas

What is THEO?

THEO stands for Texas Hemp Education Organization

Farmers have a tremendous opportunity to impact generations to come through:

· Lawmaking – As federal, state, and local governments, along with the USDA and TDA, write and revise laws and regulations, THEO wants to ensure that the interests of farmers are advanced.

· Education – THEO will gather and distribute research, and collaborate with public and private researchers, to secure the agronomic, manufacturing, environmental, economic, market, and pharmaceutical knowledge necessary for successful development of the industry across the state.

· Infrastructure – THEO will support ventures that promote inputs, production, processing, and manufacturing systems that will benefit growers and build stability in the emerging hemp industry.

· Markets – THEO aims to develop markets for industrial hemp and create and operate cooperative marketing organizations.

· Communication – THEO is committed to maintaining a positive public image of industrial hemp, sustain strong working relationships with law enforcement agencies, share important information with our hemp growers, and promote the open flow of information within the industry.
