Research Project: **Location:
                            Forage Seed and Cereal Research Unit** Project Number: 2072-21000-056-000-D
                        
                        Project Type: In-House Appropriated Start Date: Apr 24, 2020
                        
                        End Date: Jul 21, 2024 **Objective:**
                        
                        Objective 1.  Assemble and integrate current hemp related data and collect new data in collaboration with University partners to establish and improve hemp production modeling efforts.
Objective 2.  Develop modeling techniques that incorporate existing and newly generated hemp agronomic information into decision support tools to help farmers integrate hemp production into existing farm systems. **Approach:**
                        
                        Industrial hemp is a potentially useful crop for production within the U.S. Various properties and uses for hemp are being explored, some focused on the unique properties of the plant itself (fiber production, protein content as livestock feed), and some focused on the properties of cannabidiol (CBD) for a variety of uses. The goal of this research will be to use existing agronomic information and generate new information, then use modeling techniques to incorporate that information into decision support tools to help farmers integrate hemp production into existing farm systems.
