PSPA’s  June Zoominar with Krystal Snyder, PSU Extension, reviewed the challenges in growing and marketing hemp since legalization in 2018.

Ever heard of Hempcrete?  Hemp isn’t just for CBD; it’s used in more than 2,000 products including a Hemp House on Wheels.

But go slow for now; don’t go putting all your eggs in the hemp basket.   In 2019, 65% of PA hemp farmers didn’t have buyers.  As the market develops, Pennsylvania’s niche will likely be in “seed to sale” where producers integrate growing, processing, and making their own hemp-based products.
