A world oversupply of opiate products and depressed prices has led UK Big Pharma GSK to slash its Tasmanian poppy growers contaracts by 90% next season, down to 500 hectares from this year's 5,000.
Almost 500 growers will lose $12 million between them.
The Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association has a group looking at hemp as an alternative crop for poppy farmers.
Groovy! Let us know when its ready guys.
