#throwbackthursday The NWG team is missing field season during the cold months. Throwback to when we visited a customer in Ohio with a beautiful stand of NWG genetics. We enjoy visiting customers throughout the field season. The Ohio Hemp Company #agronomy #support #hempfield

About us
New West Genetics is developing and improving Industrial hemp genetics for adaptation to various regions of the United States. We combine traditional breeding with modern genomics to create stable genetics, optimized traits across industries, and varities adapted for large-scale production. Whether it is breeding Industrial hemp cultivars adapted to regions in the US, or refining the medicinal applications of the cannabinoids, we are excited to share our expertise to help convert an underutilized plant to a legitimate crop and array of products in the value chain.

A 2023 literature review of industrial hemp at Oregon State found that "Hemp plants have been shown to reduce the quantity of a limited number of nematode species and certain fungi in soils, and hemp may be grown without chemical pesticides.” This study also found that incorporating hemp into a rotation improves many soil health properties.

For hemp production to succeed, the first consideration should be field selection. It is essential to consider crop rotation, chemical residuals, soil type, and soil nutrients to maximize production potential. NWG agronomists discuss field selection with customers to ensure they get started on the right foot and are set up for success from the beginning. NWG customers receive peace of mind with the support of our expert agronomists with the qualifying purchase of NWG seed. Contact an NWG agronomist today to learn more!

Carbon intensity – (CI) what is it? A carbon intensity (CI) score is a measurement of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with producing, distributing, and consuming a product or activity. A higher CI score means a greater impact on the environment, while a lower score means a smaller impact. A CI score of zero indicates carbon neutrality. For example, a farm's CI score can be used to measure the amount of carbon-based energy that goes into producing a bushel of grain. Farmers can use CI scores to identify ways to improve their practices, such as planting cover crops, reducing tilling, or reducing fertilizer use. Industrial hemp has CI advantages over corn, canola, and cotton due to its lower fertilizer requirements. Within private markets, farmers with lower CI scores can be paid a premium for their crops. NWG looks forward to future nature markets when soil sequestration and increased water use efficiency are also rewarded with incentives.

It was a pleasure to speak with Valent BioSciences about sustainable farming!
New Episode Alert! How can we transform agriculture to tackle global sustainability challenges like carbon sequestration and soil health? In this episode of Sustaining Soils, we explore how crop diversity plays a critical role in creating sustainable agricultural systems. Our guests, Wendy Mosher, President & CEO of New West Genetics, and Dr. John McKay, Professor of Plant Evolutionary Genomics at Colorado State University, discuss how innovative genetics in industrial hemp are enabling these game-changing solutions. Discover how this work is decreasing agriculture’s carbon footprint while creating new opportunities for growers and the health of their soil.
