There may be 'pot of gold' at end of Michigan's hemp farming rainbow...or useless marijuana hat  Marylynn Bigelow, a 67-year-old University of Michigan nurse nearing retirement, purchased an 80-acre plot to grow hemp in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula. Over the past year, she's been traveling back and forth to her farm from U-M hospital to grow three acres of hemp. Her harvest was a total loss and had to be destroyed. Bigelow, like many right now in the industry, is not a master of the essentially brand-new crop that just became legal to grow in 2018. But they have not given up hope. In fact, if regulations change, they insist there's a 'pot of gold' at the end of the hemp rainbow.  MORE ►'Hot hemp' could ruin Michigan farmers, state says ►Farmers say hemp could be huge industry in Michigan

He certainly keeps using the word "explosive." But let's be real, compared to the past couple seasons, multiple touchdowns would feel pretty darn explosive. "It's really hard to every series, you know, (have these) 13- or 14-play drives," Tucker said. Yeah. WE KNOW. MORE ►This is Michigan State's new offensive coordinator ►MSU's new offensive line coach and run game coordinator gets a BIG raise
