University of Vermont field crops expert Heather Darby said that some of her faculty colleagues have taken an interest in working with hemp.
"Initial research, if we receive proper permits, will focus on basic production and agronomy," she said in an email. She noted that companies as diverse as cosmetics manufacturer Nivea and automaker Ford "have been in contact with us here in Vermont, looking for opportunities." The latter, she elaborated, "would use the fiber in a number of interior parts of the vehicle — dashboards would be one."
