Season 9 of the Hemp Show is here. In this season opener of the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, we'll take you inside a hearing organized by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania that was meant to explain the hemp industry to state lawmakers \u2014 and ended up revealing something else entirely. The original intent of hemp in the Farm Bill was about agriculture and manufacturing, but the conversation has been dominated by intoxicating cannabinoids, chemical definitions and law enforcement concerns. This episode weaves&amp;nbsp;together testimony from regulators, business owners and legislators and ultimately&amp;nbsp;asks a simple but important question: When \u201chemp\u201d is used to describe everything, what does the word actually mean anymore? Will farmers who want to grow fiber and grain get the short end of the stick again? Listen to what the hearing revealed and why clear definitions may be the key to Pennsylvania\u2019s hemp future.
