We have evaluated many fiber hemp varieties with a special focus on their adaptability to organic systems. \nIn addition to agronomic performance\, we have studied how these varieties interact with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)\, beneficial microbes that enhance nutrient uptake and contribute to overall plant resilience. We have also begun testing the mechanical properties of fiber samples\, including tensile strength\, to better understand their industrial potential. \nWe look forward to sharing these findings to empower more growers and processors with practical\, science-based solutions\, in building a sustainable hemp fiber economy in the Northeast. Gain insights from our presenter\, Dr. Dinesh Panday in this webinar on September 3\, 2025. \nRegistration\n\n \n \n X/TwitterThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Zip/Postal Code*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCompleting this form automatically signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

We will then look at the variety of fences available to suit the needs of your operation. We will cover poultry netting\, 4-5 strand fencing for goats and sheep\, 1-2 strand fencing suitable for larger animals\, perimeter fencing\, subdividing paddocks within your field\, 3-D anti deer fencing\, grounding\, and energizers. We will discuss how to move livestock within fencing and some of the successes and failures we have had here at the Midwest Organic Center as well as in my past career working on a diverse organic farm in Northern California. Finally\, we will examine the age-old adage “the best fence is a good pasture.” \nRegistration\n\n \n \n FacebookThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Zip/Postal Code*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.
