On this week\'s Industrial Hemp Podcast, host Eric Hurlock takes a trip to Denver, Colorado, to attend the National Farmers Union annual Convention where he was presented with the Milton D. Hakel award for Excellence in Agricultural Journalism.

While at the convention Hurlock conducted a joint interview with FSA administrator Zach Ducheneaux and FSA State Executive Director for Pennsylvania Heidi Secord, who discuss the mission and goals of the Farm Service Agency, the challenges American ag producers face, the importance of regenerative ag practices, and the current state of the US hemp industry.

Hurlock also interviewed Montana Senator John Tester about hemp\'s ability to revitalize rural America, and Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture Kate Greenberg about hemp\'s role in the Colorado ag landscape.
