Ryan Loflin of Rocky Mountain Hemp Inc in 2013 was the first Colorado farmer in 57 years to plant, successfully harvest, and process an industrial hemp crop in the United States. This accomplishment has been chronicled in major news outlets such as The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, The Guardian, LA Times, Yahoo news, and The Denver Post. Ryan and Rocky Mountain Hemp were also featured on the television program “Ten Things You Don’t Know” hosted by Henry Rollins airing on The History Channel 2.
