A Navajo Nation tribe in the U.S. state of New Mexico has filed suit against 33 farmers the tribe says violated its laws by growing hemp and marijuana. The latest suit comes after the tribe earlier this year sued hemp farmer Dineh Benally under a similar claim. The 2018 U.S. Farm Bill allows hemp farming on Native American lands under tribe supervision, but Navajo Nation has not approved hemp growing.
