NoCo7 Honors Materials Zone Stage to Dion Markgraaff
Formation Ag, a Colorado-based equipment innovation and machinery manufacturer is pleased to sponsor the Materials Zone at NoCo Hemp Expo. The stage will host speakers who will provide information on hemp building supplies, fabric, and other innovations made from hemp.
Together, event organizers and Formation Ag are dedicating the Materials Zone Stage to honor the passing of hemp pioneer, Dion Markgraaff. As indicated in Let’s Talk Hemp, Markgraaff was a Vista, CA, resident who had a long career in cannabis and hemp, where he started an early hemp store, “Cannabis in Amsterdam.” He helped to organize medical cannabis for patients in San Diego and worked to make medical cannabis legal in Mexico. Markgraaff also served as vice president and was an early founding member of the U.S. Hemp Building Association and hosted a weekly “Hempcrete 101” construction class dedicated for building with hemp in Vista. He even built a “Hemp Church” in his backyard from hempcrete where all were welcome to celebrate the bounty of hemp.
“Dion was a tremendous inspiration and was a true advocate for hemp. He will be truly missed, and we are forever grateful for the steps he took for the advancement of hemp,” Morris Beegle, Let’s Talk Hemp Media Co-founder and Producer of NoCo Hemp Expo. “We’re proud of the partnerships we have established to be able to dedicate the Materials Zone Stage in Dion’s honor.”
