Well done, Rod. Congratulations!
Thanks, John!
South Dakota needs you to try and make our governor understand that hemp is a good thing! She is not listening to the people,who want to have medical marijuana an option. Also the state needs a new crop option. I wish more people would be like you.
Thanks, Dorothy. Governor Noem is definitely out of touch on the hemp issue. Keep up the fight!
Awesome Rod!!!! Congratulations!!!!
Thanks, Rebecca!
