2026 Multi-State Yield Analysis Released
Researchers from three land-grant universities published findings on June 7, 2026, detailing 2025 field performance of 12 hemp cultivars across six states. The study measured dry biomass, fiber quality, and cannabinoid profiles under varying soil and climate conditions.
Methodology Highlights
- Randomized block design with four replicates per site.
- Standardized harvesting protocols at 90-110 days post-planting.
- Laboratory analysis conducted at independent ISO-certified facilities.
Principal Findings
Average fiber yields ranged from 2.8 to 4.1 metric tons per hectare, with northern varieties outperforming southern counterparts in cooler climates. Seed oil content averaged 28% across sites, with modest regional differences attributed to daylight length.
The data set provides growers with cultivar selection tools tailored to latitude and soil type. Extension services in participating states have begun incorporating the results into 2026 planting recommendations.
Industry observers say the study fills a gap left by earlier single-location trials and should support more accurate forecasting models used by lenders and insurers. Further publications from the same research group are scheduled for late 2026.
