Industrial Hemp Podcast

This week's Hemp Show is the second episode of our four-part miniseries covering the 2026 USDA Hemp Stakeholder Event, which took place at Cornell AgriTech on September 10.

In Episode 1, we looked at the diversity inside the national hemp germplasm collection. In this episode, we turn to measuring it: hemp DNA, hemp seed, hemp stems and THC.

Dongyan Zhao of Breeding Insight, a USDA-ARS program hosted at Cornell, explains a new public genotyping panel that checks about 3,000 genetic markers for roughly $15 a sample. It can confirm a plant's genetic sex before a breeder makes a cross, and it shows that two seed lots with the same variety name aren't always the same seed.

Roque Evangelista, a research chemist with the USDA-ARS Bio-Oils Research Unit in Peoria, Illinois, shares seed weight, oil, protein and fatty acid data from hundreds of accessions in the collection, now public in GRIN-Global, and shows how density grading can sort one harvest into seed, hemp hearts, oil and feed.

Wayne Swink of the USDA-ARS Cotton Quality and Innovation Research Unit in New Orleans talks about a small decorticator built to measure how much force and energy it takes to break hemp stems, and why fiber is still one of the hardest things about hemp to measure.

Finally, Korey Brownstein, a research chemist at the same Peoria research center, describes his open-source method for rapidly measuring 20 cannabinoids, and the problem it's meant to solve.

"Lab to lab variation is a very real situation that we are dealing with, right?" he said.

Next time, in Episode 3, we'll turn to disease: a fungus that moves between wheat and hemp, a growth chamber full of sick plants, and a disease-resistance gene from a plant most farmers would have mowed down.

The Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, also known as The Hemp Show, continues its four-part miniseries on the 2026 USDA Hemp Stakeholder Event, held September 10, 2026, at Cornell AgriTech in Geneva, New York. Hosted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Plant Genetic Resources Unit, the meeting centered on the national hemp germplasm collection, a public seed bank of Cannabis sativa that is part of the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS). Episode 2, "Measure It," covers the tools hemp breeders, growers and processors need to put that genetic diversity to work: hemp genotyping, hemp seed composition analysis, hemp fiber testing and THC testing. Using recordings of the day's presentations, the episode features researchers from Breeding Insight at Cornell University and from USDA ARS laboratories in Peoria, Illinois, and New Orleans.

Dongyan Zhao of Breeding Insight, a USDA ARS initiative hosted at Cornell, presents a public mid-density hemp genotyping panel developed with the Plant Genetic Resources Unit in Geneva. The DArTag panel, run through Diversity Arrays Technology in Australia, targets about 3,000 marker loci, returns results in about four weeks and costs about $15 a sample plus DNA extraction. Development costs were covered up front, so breeders pay only for genotyping. Hemp geneticist George Stack selected the markers with input from stakeholders. Replicated samples agree more than 99% of the time, but different seed lots of the same accession matched only about 83%, showing the genetic diversity within hemp accessions and the risk of mislabeled parental lines. The panel also confirms karyotypic sex, identifying XX mother plants for crosses, and supports population structure and pedigree analysis, marker-assisted selection, QTL mapping and genomic prediction.

Roque Evangelista, a research chemist with the USDA ARS Bio-Oils Research Unit at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, analyzed more than 300 and then another 380 hemp seed samples from the collection for seed weight, oil content, protein content and fatty acid profile. That hemp seed data is now public in GRIN-Global. Asian accessions produced the largest seeds and somewhat higher oil, but large-seeded plants appear across gene pools, and Evangelista keeps extreme outliers in the data because breeders may be looking for them. Because hemp is indeterminate, harvested grain varies in maturity. Density grading separated heavy, mature seed, about 74% of one lot, from light seed with much lower oil but similar protein, which could go to seed companies, hemp hearts, oil pressing or feed. He also covers cold-pressed hemp seed oil, residual oil in press cake and near-infrared (NIR) calibrations for oil, protein and fatty acids.

Wayne Swink of the USDA ARS Cotton Quality and Innovation Research Unit in New Orleans is linking hemp fiber traits to the DNA sequencing of the collection. His team built a bench-scale hemp decorticator, with a pneumatic actuator, a load sensor and a four-roller conditioner, that measures stem breaking force, energy demand and biomass balance between bast fiber and hurd. First data covered 15 stems, and true fiber quality testing is still ahead. Korey Brownstein, a research chemist at the Peoria center, presents a rapid, open-source method for 20 cannabinoids, including THCA, Delta-8 THC, CBGA and CBG, that avoids heat, uses ethanol extraction and sonication and handles about 100 samples a day. He took part in a NIST interlaboratory study and explains why total THC testing near the 0.3% legal limit, and the 2 ppm THC limit for hemp seed meal in laying hen feed, depends on which lab runs the sample. Episode 3 of the USDA hemp series turns to hemp disease.

This week's Hemp Show is the first episode of a four-part miniseries covering the 2026 USDA Hemp Stakeholder Event, which took place at Cornell AgriTech on September 10.

In this first episode, researchers explain what's inside the national hemp germplasm collection and why it matters.

Collection curator Zach Stansell tells how the collection grew from a single feral accession in 2021 to more than 800 accessions from around the world today.

Shelby Ellison, a plant breeder at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, chairs the Hemp Crop Germplasm Committee, a newly formed advisory panel that tells the gene bank what to collect, study and protect, and she explains why hemp needed one.

Then Phil Bentz, a plant genomics researcher at the University of Georgia, talks about sequencing more than a thousand plants from the collection and his conclusion that hemp and marijuana don't come from separate family trees.

Finally, George Stack, a hemp geneticist who trained at Cornell and now runs a genetics consulting company, shows where the sharp line between hemp and marijuana actually sits: a single region of chromosome 7 that decides whether a plant makes CBD or THC.

Next time, in Episode 2, we'll turn to measurement: a public DNA testing tool that costs about $15 a sample, a USDA lab that weighs and presses hemp seed, a machine built to break hemp stems, and why 0.3% THC is a harder number to pin down than it sounds.

This week on the Hemp Show, we're continuing our coverage of the National Industrial Hemp Council's Global Industrial Hemp Fiber Summit, held at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City during Fashion Week.

It was two days of farmers, breeders, processors, machine builders, designers and brands, all focused on how to get hemp from the field into something somebody will buy.

What it already is turns out to be a crop with farmers on one end, brands on the other, and a lot of empty space in between. Over two days, nearly every panel ran into that empty space from a different direction.

So on this episode, we follow the missing middle and see what we know about how much we don't know, and maybe some things we do know.

The Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast goes inside the 2026 NIHC Global Industrial Hemp Fiber Summit, held September 16 and 17 at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City during Fashion Week. Host Eric Hurlock follows the summit's Seed to Style theme from start to finish, using sound bites from farmers, plant breeders, processors, machine builders, fiber scientists, textile brands and policy leaders. They all describe the same challenge: the "missing middle" of the industrial hemp supply chain. That's the processing, decortication, fiber standards, certified seed and buyer commitments needed to turn hemp stalks into yarn, fabric and finished products. National Industrial Hemp Council (NIHC) president Patrick Atagi opens the summit, and Paul Benhaim of The Hemp Plastic Company tells the room that "nobody on earth has a hemp budget."

Day one covers hemp textiles from global sourcing to fiber science. Ryan Zaczynski of 1937 International describes a large hemp fiber project in Pakistan, led by Dr. Zafar Riaz and Dr. Nayyar Kazmi, with heat-tolerant genetics, water retting and a first commercial crop of about 4,000 acres expected in 2027. Ally Friedman of the Bezos Earth Fund explains why climate philanthropy is funding a hemp life-cycle assessment against cotton and polyester. Joe Hickey of the Kentucky Hemp Growers Co-op Association, Clyde Carpenter of the New York Fashion Innovation Center, University of Kentucky hemp economist Dr. Tyler Mark and Cornell University plant breeder Larry Smart cover fiber consistency, spinning mill requirements, crop rotation economics and domestic hemp seed. The day closes with hemp's sister fibers. Eric Singular of INCCert and the North American Linen Association makes the case for shared bast fiber processing for flax and hemp, and Buxton Midyette of Supima explains how USDA cotton classing, forensic fiber testing and supply chain traceability give mills confidence.

Day two opens with Paul Benhaim's keynote on hemp fiber's value bottleneck, the brands missing from the room, and his call to "finance the middle." A USDA panel covers the ARS hemp germplasm repository in Geneva, New York, and AMS performance-based sampling for fiber hemp growers. The equipment panel, moderated by Trey Riddle of IND HEMP, features Lawrence Serbin's Fiber King green-hemp field decorticator, Guillaume Delannoy of FRD-CODEM on hemp fiber in automotive composites, Alex Teodorescu of Cretes on decortication technology, and Andrew Bish of the Hemp Feed Coalition on market pull. Jeremy Klettke of Davis Farms of Oregon explains counter-season hemp seed multiplication in Argentina. Ted Haney of the Federation of International Hemp Organizations explains why certified seed helped Canada build a commercial hemp industry.

The episode also contrasts two textile supply chain models. Maciej Kowalski of Kombinat Konopny runs a vertically integrated hemp apparel chain in Poland, while Tim Almond of Heartland sells spin-ready hemp fiber to yarn mills, made to a published specification. On the materials panel, Cameron McIntosh of Americhanvre Cast Hemp talks about spray-applied hempcrete, and Greg Wilson of Hempwood talks about hemp flooring manufacturing costs. Winona LaDuke of the Indigenous Hemp Cooperative traces a Patagonia hemp bag through five states and two countries. Ira Vandever of Turquoise Indigo Fibers describes Indigenous standards for hemp and Navajo-Churro wool goods. Joseph Carringer of Canna Markets Group closes with a call to "let hemp be hemp" in fashion and textiles. It's essential listening for anyone following hemp fiber, hemp textiles, natural fibers, regional supply chains and the future of the U.S. industrial hemp industry.

This week, the Hemp Show takes place in New York City, at the intersection of Industrial Hemp and Fashion Avenue.

Last month, the National Industrial Hemp Council held its annual Global Industrial Hemp Fiber Summit at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. With two full days of presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities, the "Seed to Style" summit attracted people from all parts of the hemp supply chain, as well as people from the worlds of fashion, design and global textiles.

This episode offers a snapshot of what the intersection of hemp and fashion looks like in 2026. We talk to Shannon Mayer, dean of the Jay and Patty Baker School of Business and Technology at FIT; Patrick Atagi, president and CEO of the National Industrial Hemp Council; and Curie Chang, founder and CEO of Ofibera, a luxury hemp apparel company.

New West Genetics has been focused on crop improvement in the hemp industry since 2014.

In July of 2021, the Lancaster Farming National Hemp Tour paid a visit to the New West headquarters in Fort Collins, Colorado, where Wendy Mosher sat down for an interview with the host of the Lancaster Farming podcast, Eric Hurlock. That's me. It's sort of weird to talk about myself in the third person, but anyway, on this week's show we catch up with Mosher to hear about the past five years.

Back in 2021, Mosher spoke about new hybrid varieties of hemp grain that could double yields. And now five years later, that hybrid is in the middle of a market that wasn't on her radar back in 2021: renewable fuels. The oil from hemp grain makes an excellent biofuel, she said.

We also talk about her work with the Hemp Feed Coalition, a group dedicated to opening the livestock feed markets for hemp.

Our conversation was recorded in August before the McConnell deadline was extended to December. She welcomes closing the loopholes in the regulations.

"Bad actors still, to this day, impact my company. So I want them out of there. And it's their own fault if there's a huge backlash. It's their fault for not taking care of that in their industry," she said.

It's a fun conversation, so listen up and climb on board the RV Time Machine.

This week on the Hemp Show, we're revisiting some of the folks we met during our National Hemp Tour of 2021.

Five years ago this summer the Industrial Hemp Podcast hit the road to map the industry as it was then. Hemp farmers, processors and manufacturers were few and far between at the time.

One of the stops we made in the summer of 2021 was South Bend Industrial Hemp near Great Bend, Kansas, where Melissa Nelson, her husband Aaron Baldwin, and brother-in-law Rich Baldwin had recently installed a decortication machine that processed raw hemp bales into usable streams of fiber and hurd.

Melissa's vision for growth has always been about building a resilient regional supply chain. South Bend Industrial Hemp developed a growers group with the intention of educating local farmers to grow the crop.

Five years later, the team at South Bend works with a group of 27 growers across Kansas, producing around 7,000 acres of hemp this season.

"Our farmers are everything," Nelson said. "At the end of the day, we couldn't do this without them. And the responsibility that we feel because of the trust that they put in us is immeasurable. I carry that weight very heavily on my shoulders and it's very important to me that they have success."

Listen to the whole show to hear how South Bend has grown over the past five years — the challenges, the successes, the learning curves and much more.

This week's Hemp Podcast is divided into two parts.

First, we take a look at the recent changes in U.S. hemp policy in a conversation with Rachel Umansky-Castro, the agriculture reporter for Bloomberg Government, who has spent the summer covering the fight over the federal definition of hemp. She walks us through what's been happening in D.C. lately, who the various lobbying groups are and what they ultimately want from federal policy.

"There are so many divisions among these lawmakers, and it's clear that the hemp issue has split members of the same party, " Umansky-Castro said.

Last week, Congress used a continuing resolution to push the so-called Mitch McConnell deadline from November to December 11, and Umansky-Castro explains what that extra month does and doesn't buy the industry.

In part two of the show, we check in with Tennessee filmmaker Jordan Berger, whose documentary, "One Plant," is finally finished after several years of production.

"The plant itself, you know, it touches on everything. And this thing started as a series because there's just so much, but we ultimately made it one film," Berger said.

One Plant premieres at the Nashville Film Festival on September 26, 2026. From there, the film travels around the country to other festivals, with stops in Bozeman, MT; Santa Cruz, CA; and Minneapolis, MN.

On October 24, the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast will host a double screening of One Plant in Lancaster, PA, at the Zoetropolis Theatre with a Q&A and time to meet others from the film and the Pennsylvania hemp community. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., tickets are available on Eventbrite at the link below.

This week on the Industrial Hemp Podcast, we talk to Patrick Atagi, president and CEO of the National Industrial Hemp Council, the organization that's hosting the Seed to Style hemp fiber summit in conjunction with the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, Sept. 16-18.

This event is a continuation of the conversations NIHC facilitated in Raleigh, N.C., last summer when they held their fiber summit at N.C. State's Wilson College of Textiles.

But this year, the stakes are a little higher and the energy burns a little brighter. Because that's what New York City does: It amplifies everything.

"It's building materials, it's clothing — the different parts and pieces of hemp all together, making it all work together. And the culmination is a fashion exhibit," Atagi said.

The fashion exhibit caps the summit on Thursday evening — hemp coming off the field and onto the mannequin, the "seed to style" idea made real.

Also, one big nugget of hemp news this week: Congress has hit the snooze button on the McConnell deadline that threatens to shut down the vast majority of the cannabinoid hemp industry. Intoxicating hemp products are still out, but the industry has an extra month to fight for its future. The clock is still ticking, but now the alarm is set for Dec. 11, 2026.

This week on The Hemp Show, we check in with Greg Wilson from Hempwood in Murray, Kentucky where, five years ago, Lancaster Farming's National Hemp Tour made its first stop.

A lot has happened with Hempwood since then, and on this episode, Wilson brings us up to speed.

In many ways, this show is a counting of the blessings — a list of what Wilson and his team have accomplished over the past half decade.

We discuss new factories, new products and award-winning installations in the Bowling Green public schools that are changing the quality of education through natural building materials for generations of Kentucky schoolchildren.

This week on the hemp podcast we take a ride in the RV Time Machine. We're going back five years, back to the National Hemp Tour in the summer of 2021, when we took the podcast on the road — and took my family too.

We traveled over ten thousand miles from coast to coast in a rented RV visiting hemp farms, processors and manufacturers across the country.

The industry was sparse then and these hemp companies were few and far between in 2021.

And keep in mind that in 2021, most of the noise around industrial hemp was actually about CBD flower and canabinoid production.

What made our trip different was that we were talking to the people on the fiber and grain side of the industry, where the game-changing potential of this plant is strongest.

Think houses, textiles, food and fuel. Think row crops, think big acreage, think about a third crop in with our beloved corn and soy. Think Hemp, big, boring and ubiquitous.

But it has to start somewhere. People have to start doing things to make it happen. So in 2021, I set out to meet the people where they were. I went to see the farms, see the fields and see the factories. I wanted to meet the people, hear their dreams and see their visions come to life.

And now five years later, with gas prices approaching 5 dollars a gallon, we go back on the road again, but this time we go virtually.

Over the next few months, I will be sharing new conversations from the people I met on the road back then. We'll hear what's changed, what's stayed the same and what the industry looks like now.

But before we start publishing those episodes, we're going to go back in time and revisit the tour itself. This episode is your atlas for our time travel. Buckle up, buttercup, and we'll see you in 2021.
