Extension Division, 2025) Kaur, Gurpreet; Nelson, Kelly A.; Singh, Gurbir; Nain, Anjeeta"Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) production practices are gradually being adapted for U.S. conditions, but harvest timing and methods remain some of the most critical and least standardized aspects of hemp production in Missouri. This factsheet compiles general recommendations based on agronomic studies and best practices from other hemp-producing states with similar agro-climatic conditions." -- first pageItem Industrial hemp(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2025) Kaur, Gurpreet; Nelson, Kelly A.; Singh, Gurbir"Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a fast-growing, versatile plant that belongs to the family Cannabaceae. Unlike marijuana, which is also a Cannabis species, industrial hemp contains less than 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and is grown for a wide range of agricultural and industrial uses-such as fiber, grain, and cannabinoids like CBD." -- first pageItem Industrial hemp : varieties and uses(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2025) Kaur, Gurpreet; Nelson, Kelly A.; Singh, Gurbir; Nain, Anjeeta"Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a multipurpose crop cultivated worldwide for its fiber, grain (seed), and cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD). Unlike marijuana, industrial hemp contains less than 0.3% THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), making it non-psychoactive and federally legal to grow in the United States under the 2018 Farm Bill Uohnson, 2019). Industrial hemp varieties are typically grouped based on their primary end use. Selecting the right hemp variety is essential for maximizing yield and profitability in a given production system." -- first pageItem Industrial hemp : history, regulations & licensing(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2025) Kaur, Gurpreet; Nelson, Kelly A.; Singh, Gurbir; Nain, Anjeeta"Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has seen a resurgence in agricultural, industrial, and economic significance across the United States (Mark, 2019). Historically, industrial hemp played a vital role in American agriculture. The crop was widely cultivated from the colonial period through the 19th century. Hemp was an essential crop for producing textiles, rope, and other industrial materials (Small, 2002). George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp for use in naval equipment, clothing, and paper (Fike, 2016). The cultivation of industrial hemp in Missouri dates back to 1835 (USDA, 1914) when farmers began growing the crop primarily for fiber production. By the mid-to-late 1800s, Missouri ranked second to Kentucky in national hemp output, driven by demand for cordage, canvas, and textiles (Horner et al., 2019)." -- first page
