Shawn Weber has been in the hemp business since 2019. His Morgan, Minnesota-based company manufactures oils, topicals, edibles, and other products under its own brand for sale throughout Minnesota. In 2024, he’ll be working to build a cooperative for the state’s licensed hemp farmers and processors, including growers of recreational weed. Weber’s vision: an industry group that can share expertise and resources. He wants to help farmers “easily monetize” what they grow—something that’s been difficult so far.
