Grain Industrial Hemp Varieties
Hemp is a valuable oilseed crop grown for its grain. It is historically dioecious (separate male & female plants). Hemp varieties have exhibited considerable differences in height, maturity and seed size. HGI Hemp grain varieties are bred specifically for a higher harvest index (high grain yield and larger seeds on shorter plants). Maturity ranges from 100 to about 115 days. A hemp bushel weighs 44 lbs.
