National Industrial Hemp Council of America

?? I’m excited to be speaking at the 11th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo, April 10-12 in Estes Park, CO—the nation’s largest gathering of hemp industry leaders. This event is more than an expo; it’s an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and drive real change in the hemp industry. Now is the time for Indigenous nations to take a serious look at hemp as a sustainable industry that can create jobs, strengthen economies, and support environmental stewardship. Hemp is more than a plant—it’s a viable commodity that provides new revenue streams outside of federal funding and shifting political landscapes. Tribes also have a unique opportunity to leverage Sovereignty and Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) to position themselves as key players in the global hemp market. FTZs provide significant cost savings on duties and tariffs, allowing Tribes to store, process, and distribute hemp products more efficiently. By using existing agricultural land bases and strategic trade advantages, Tribal nations can lead this industry forward. This is a call to action for ICIA members, industry leaders, and those committed to advancing hemp. Let’s work together to expand access, improve policy, and unlock the full potential of this plant. Join me at NoCo11 to be part of the conversation. ?? Early Bird pricing ends March 21! ?? Get Tickets: nocohempexpo.com/tickets ?? View the Schedule: nocohempexpo.com/schedule ??

Hemp is more than a crop, it’s a system. And every great system is built on balance. One of the most overlooked aspects of high yielding hemp is the?relationship between genetics, environment, and management (GxExM).?It’s easy to assume that good genetics alone will deliver results. But the reality is?good genetics need the right conditions and management to reach their full potential. In this trial we saw just how?powerful this combination?can be. The?massive #grain heads?weren’t just because of the #variety, we fine-tuned our approach to?matching #genetics with the environment and #agronomy. Inspired by an old Persian philosophy Good Thought, Good Deed, Good Word we’re redefining it for modern agronomy: Good #Genetics, Good #Agronomy, Good #Yield. #HempgenTech #HGT2h #HGT2hs #HGT1 #Yield #Data #Breeding #Agronomy #Hemp #GENEUPTM?#Agriculture

In the latest?Let's Talk Hemp Volume Up?podcast, I dive into South Africa’s growing hemp and cannabis scene after nearly three weeks in Cape Town. From staying at the Hemp Hotel — the tallest hemp structure in the world — to insightful conversations with industry leaders like Tony Budden (founder of Hemporium), Trenton Birsch (Cheeba Africa), Natie Ferreira (Dagga Farmacy), and Tanya Clarke (Invegrow), this episode explores the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of hemp in Africa. With new regulations on the horizon, including a proposed 2% THC limit for hemp, the South African market is set for exciting growth. Even with the recent bumps in the road...hopefully soon to be resolved. Special thanks to our LTH show sponsor, Her Many Voices (@hermanyvoices) — learn more at hermanyvoices.org.
