Manitoba Hemp Alliance[edit]
The MHL lobbied the provincial government for assistance with research and development of hemp agriculture and was able to convince Manitoba’s Agriculture Minister of hemp’s great potential.

Moravcik’s group obtained some of the first hemp test plot permits from the Canadian government, and the success of their policy activity and research led to the legalization of hemp agriculture in Canada and the first harvest in 1998.[7][8][9][10]

Martin, Alex and Mike teamed up with 20 local farmers that became shareholders in the company they named Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & Oils.
