  • Hemp in 2025: Cliff Hangers, Course Corrections and Community

    Hemp in 2025: Cliff Hangers, Course Corrections and Community
    Dec 30 2025
    2025 was a year of uncertainty, contradiction and recalibration for the hemp industry. In this year-end episode of the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, host Eric Hurlock looks back on a season defined by policy whiplash, shifting definitions and hard conversations about what hemp is — and what it is not. From rumors of executive action and the collapse of intoxicating hemp loopholes to the rescheduling of marijuana and its ripple effects across agriculture, the year ended with more questions than answers. The episode revisits key voices from across the hemp landscape — policy advocates, farmers, processors, builders and researchers — and reflects on what the USDA data, federal decisions and on-the-ground realities revealed about the fiber, grain and building sectors. It's also a personal moment of reflection: Nearly 50 episodes, roughly 160 guests and a year spent listening closely to the people doing the slow work of building real hemp infrastructure. As the show heads into 2026, this episode pauses long enough to take stock — and to set the stage for what comes next.

  • In the Hemp Studio with Farmer Steve Groff

    In the Hemp Studio with Farmer Steve Groff
    Dec 3 2025

    We have a special in-studio guest this week on the Industrial Hemp Show.

    Steve Groff, third-generation Lancaster County farmer and hemp innovator from Holtwood, Pennsylvania, stopped by the Hemp Studio at the Lancaster Farming Office in Ephrata.

    We talked about machinery, long fiber, seed spacing, planter design and why farmer economics need to make sense if this industry is ever going to scale.

    "Farmers are gonna have to get 10 or 20% more profit per acre for this hemp out the gate," he said.

    We also talked about the green decorticator he's been working on.

    And when we got back from lunch at Tacos El Gordo in Ephrata, we talked about the recent changes to the federal definition of hemp and what it will mean for the industry.

  • A Necessary Correction: Jeremy Klettke on Hemp, Policy, and Responsibility

    A Necessary Correction: Jeremy Klettke on Hemp, Policy, and Responsibility
    Nov 26 2025

    As we move into the Thanksgiving holiday here at Lancaster Farming, I am reminded again how fortunate I am for the people in my life. Yes, of course I mean my family, friends and coworkers, but I also mean the people who are in my life because of this hemp podcast.

    Over the past nearly 8 years of making this show, I have met truly inspiring people whose wisdom, insight and perspective have shaped my own view.

    One of these people is Jeremy Klettke from Davis Hemp Farms. I will periodically call Jeremy for guidance and to help me make sense of the world of hemp and cannabis.

    After the recent changes to federal hemp policy, I wanted to hear what Jeremy thought. Is the new definition good for hemp? Is it good for business?

    "I think it is an important correction that's happening … I don't think anybody needs to panic," Klettke said.
