What an interesting topic! The hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.) is making a comeback. This is in part due to the public’s increasing taste for craft beers. Since you are obviously planning to grow hops as a commercial venture I suggest you visit the following websites. You will find a wealth of information on the Internet.
