USDA Transition Leader’s Hemp History

Bonnie “was very helpful to the hemp industry” during the Obama administration, Jonathan Miller, general counsel for industry association Hemp Roundtable, tells Hemp Grower.

As undersecretary, Bonnie met several times with hemp representatives to discuss critical issues of concern to the industry, Miller adds. While it is hard to say what this will mean during the Biden administration, he says, “what we do already know is that the hemp industry will get a fair hearing during the transition process.”

Geoff Whaling, National Hemp Association’s (NHA) board chairperson, agrees, adding that he has already reached out to Bonnie and the rest of the 17-person team to advocate for hemp.

Whaling has updated the USDA transition team on the agency’s interim final rule for hemp and industry and state challenges to it. He has also discussed the industry’s concerns with the Drug Enforcement Agency’s interim final hemp rule designating hemp byproducts as a controlled substance and what it sees as the agency’s efforts to avoid public input on the rule.

Whaling also discussed NHA’s request for a Federal Advisory Committee on Hemp and asked that the team “look to hemp to be one of the contributors to advancing many of the priorities of the Biden Harris Transition Team under the Climate Change policy.”

Hemp hurd comes from the woody inner part of the hemp stalk. Plus he wants to use hurd for animal bedding, fuel, housing and commercial construction. "Our principle focus is in two areas, Food to Pharma and Sustainable Industrial Disruption," he said.'
