Jerry Clark looked out at a field containing 18 varieties of industrial and he sees a lot of possibilities for farmers. Clark, the Chippewa County UW-Extension agriculture agent, is now in his fourth year studying hemp on a one-acre parcel located just east Highway 178, near HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital in Chippewa Falls.
