With the passage of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, industrial hemp was declassified as a Schedule I drug and is now legal (with restrictions) for production in the United States. Hemp and marijuana are both Cannabis sativa but are distinguished from each other based on the concentration of the psychoactive compound, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Industrial hemp is defined by law as a cannabis plant with total THC concentrations on a dry weight basis of less than 0.3% (+/- a measurement of uncertainty). This resource provides a basic overview of hemp testing for THC to stay in compliance with U.S. Department of Agriculture rules for hemp growers.

2026 Corn, Soybean, and Wheat Outlook
The key points for the 2026 season are: Large ending stocks from 2025 mean that prices will likely remain low during 2026. Tight margins are expected to continue in 2026 as projected prices for corn, soybeans, and wheat are near or below the breakeven cost of production. In Georgia, growers are likely to plant more corn acres, while soybean and wheat plantings will be comparable to last year.
