Free webinar to address industrial hemp production

A free webinar presented by Hemp Production News will cover production considerations for industrial hemp for the field farmer, greenhouse grower and propagator. The Production Considerations for Growing Industrial Hemp webinar will be held Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. EST.

Allison Justice, co-founder of SC Botanicals, will provide a broad overview of what is involved in growing hemp and the differences and similarities between industrial hemp and other commonly produced crops. Topics covered will be:

• potential profits
• types of industrial hemp
• yields
• extraction techniques
• plant pathogens and disease
• genetics
• sales routes

Justice graduated from Clemson University with a Ph.D. in Plant and Environmental Science. Through research and education, Justice is elevating the standards of cannabis and hemp cultivation both indoors/greenhouse and in the field. Justice’s dissertation involved investigating the effects of a beneficial mycorrhizal type organism, where she learned that organic, sustainable growing can be easy, cost-effective, and produce aesthetically pleasing plants when done properly.

Justice has been a member of the California Industrial Hemp Advisory Board helping to advise policy and regulation for the California Industrial Hemp Program for two years.
