You Can’t Build a Hemp Industry on Unstable Regulation
Why THC Rules, Processing Gaps, and Logistics Costs Make Hemp Too Risky for Farmers to Scale
About This Episode
Hemp farming isn’t failing because farmers can’t grow it — it’s failing because regulation makes it too risky to monetize. This episode breaks down how THC rules, testing requirements, and federal uncertainty make farmers hesitant to plant at scale.
Alexander Mootz explains what it actually takes to make hemp viable as a third rotational crop, why processing must be local, and how missing infrastructure and policy delays are holding the entire industry back.
