  • U want the Hemp industry to grow?

    Guests like Laura Sullivan do not help the industrial Hemp cause. Alienating mainline farmers with rhetoric like hers is not going to further this industry. You need the acres you need the participation from us. You will not get it if you keep having guests like that…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Caroline Matthews — Tatham's Compact Decortication Line for Small Hemp Farmers
Q: Tell me a bit about the history of Tatham and how the family progressed into hemp equipment.
The company has deep roots in fiber processing and wool, dating back 152 years, evolving from wool carding and spinning into hemp equipment over the last decade or so as demand and interest in hemp grew.
Encore Presentation of Michael Klepacz's First Interview on Hemp Show, March 2024
Q: What are your thoughts on hemp policy and regulation in the US vs. Europe?
Policy and enforcement around hemp remain complex and sometimes misinformed, with education and better alignment between agriculture and industry needed to unlock potential.
Encore Presentation of Michael Klepacz's First Interview on Hemp Show, March 2024
Q: What are the main materials you work with and what do you make?
We work with hemp fiber, flax, linen, jute, and other natural fibers to produce hemp-based products like Hempwick, belts, knitwear, and consumer textiles, while exploring long-fiber hemp for higher-end fabrics.
Encore Presentation of Michael Klepacz's First Interview on Hemp Show, March 2024
Q: How big is the business now and do you have employees?
The business has reduced staff from around 50 during COVID to about 25 now, indicating a rebuilding phase rather than stable growth.
Can the Goodness of Hemp Act Fix What's Broken in Hemp?
Q: So tell me about what you're working on. What is the solution that you and your team have come up with?
The Goodness of Hemp campaign and the associated Act aim to unify messaging, establish a three-agency regulatory framework, set an interim 3.7 mg THC per serving limit, and attach broad provisions (like hemp seed ingredients for animals and research funds) to a comprehensive bill that can gain traction in Congress.
