HEMP HEADACHES: Growing hemp for grain and fiber is seen by many as the future of hemp, but there are a lot of hurdles to jump, mainly on the production side. A study shows promise, but also big challenges with varieties, establishment and weed control.

Aug 31, 2021 to Sep 02, 2021
Hemp for cannabidiol production dominates hemp acreage in Pennsylvania, but how close is grain and fiber to becoming a big thing? If university research is any indication, it’s still got a long way to go.
“A lot of work needs to be done. We’re all patching things together as we go,” said Alyssa Collins, director of Penn State’s Southeast Agricultural Research and Extension Center, during a recent webinar on grain and fiber research in hemp.
Many students have likely never considered a career path in plant science, but a new course could potentially lead them to the jackpot.
For the fall 2021 semester, Penn State will offer a course centered around the cannabis plant and the hemp industry as a whole.
The course will be a special topics course from the Department of Plant Science called PLANT297, or Hemp Production, centered around the production of hemp, laws regarding hemp production and business aspects of hemp production.
According to Louis Bengyella, an assistant research professor in the department and the course instructor, PLANT297 will prepare anyone for the industry.

Last year, the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, which houses the archives of the late Octavia E. Butler, announced that it would be awarding a fellowship to scholars working with her “ideas and issues,” to the tune of $50,000.
Now, the organization has revealed its first recipient of the fellowship: Alyssa Collins, an assistant professor of English Language and Literature and African American Studies at the University of South Carolina.
The fellowship was open to applicants who had completed a PhD by November of 2020, from a variety of fields, and whose work was focused on “the ideas and issues explored by Butler in her published works, ranging from speculative fiction through Afrofuturism to environmental studies and biotechnology.”
