Andrew shares his front-row view on how federal policy—especially the 0.4 mg THC cap and the farm bill’s gaps—affects grain and fiber hemp, seed byproducts, and downstream products. They explore why Congress and federal agencies—from USDA to FDA—have struggled to create a practical regulatory pathway, the potential split between floral hemp and grain/fiber regulation, and what a realistic framework could look like. The conversation also covers White House actions and executive orders aimed at expanding CBD access, the politics of lobbying, and why industry unity matters more than ever. Importantly, Andrew emphasizes that his coalition is industrial hemp first and remains pro-cannabinoid, but that true progress will come from sensible rules that prioritize safety, testing, and rotational crops. Listeners will come away with a clearer view of what’s at stake, how to engage lawmakers effectively, and what to expect as regulation moves forward.\nFind out more about Hemp Feed Coalition at:\nhttps://hempfeedcoalition.org/\nhttps://bishenterprise.com/\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewbish/\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/hempfeedcoalition/\n00:00 Welcome to Kaya Cast\n00:26 Meet Andrew Bish\n00:56 The 0.4mg THC Cap\n02:24 Industry Unity Challenges\n03:15 Inside Washington Talks\n04:46 Hemp vs Intoxicants\n07:20 Farm Bill Gaps and FDA\n09:20 Where Congress Is Heading\n12:42 White House and CBD Push\n14:15 Call for Smart Regulation\n17:12 Safety and Testing Concerns\n19:11 Closing Thoughts and Outro\nindustrial hemp regulations, hemp feed, cannabinoid regulation, 0.4% THC cap, farm bill gaps, hemp seed byproducts, downstream hemp products, USDA hemp regulations, FDA hemp policies, federal hemp policy, hemp fiber vs floral regulation, hemp farming rules, hemp lobby, White House CBD...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Nlxm0QKHrXkZaRTzk1hspsaKZ09jzx0wFKCGF_C375k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82ZWU3/YmZiMDM5Y2VhZTEw/ODE5ZDdjZWY4NTVi/Mjg1My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
