Big Dog Industries, a company specializing in all areas of the hemp market,
purchased the old cheese factory in Lovington, New Mexico. The company plans to
rehab the vacant space into a fully integrated products business with 125 employees. CEO
Brian Meyers and his partners plan to invest $15 million in the building and
seed-to-retail business the next several years...Part of the appeal of the
Lovington plant was that it has 10,000 square feet of refrigeration, a
necessity as processed hemp needs to be stored at 60 degrees or cooler so it
doesn’t deteriorate. Big Dog Industries has access to 5,000 acres of farmland
in Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado, and has a program
that includes hemp education and farming practices, labor training programs,
and financial assistance to growers
