On this week's show, we talked to a young and ambitious hemp consultant, Michael Edwards, who has been working for the past few years on several different hemp operations in Western Pennsylvania. This year he finds himself working in a very large greenhouse in Westmoreland County.

Then we hear about an upcoming series of outdoor and socially distant hempcrete workshops to be hosted in Stroudsburg and Philadelphia. Cameron McIntosh, Director at Large of the US Hemp Building Association, and Eric Titus White, from The Hempstead at Mountain Dale Farm, are working with All Together Now Pennsylvania for a week-long series of workshops and educational experiences for builders, architects and farmers.

We also address the recent DEA Interim Final Rule which could have a lasting ramifications on the nascent CBD hemp industry.
