#throwbackthursday
The NWG team is missing field season during the cold months. Throwback to when we visited a customer in Ohio with a beautiful stand of NWG genetics. We enjoy visiting customers throughout the field season.

NWG CTO, Dr. Rich Fletcher visits Wahpeton, ND for the Northland Industrial Hemp Summit. He presents on the benefits of hybrid hemp genetics and yield gains achieved in our AMPLIFY family of hybrid hemp with a genetic gender skew.
#hempgenetics#hybridhemp#AMPLIFY#hempseed
This season NWG pilot launches multiple new hybrids with the AMPLIFY trait. Sure to impress, these improved yields, hybrid vigor, and genetics gender skew trait are present in each hybrid. Our agronomy team works with you to determine which genetics perform best in your region.
Seasons Greetings from the NWG team!
As the year comes to a close we reflect on the incredible year and season we have had. With the successful certification and production of AMPLIFY® hybrids we are excited to bring innovative, groundbreaking genetics to your field in 2025.
The NWG team spends the winter conducting additional breeding cycles in the greenhouse. This helps to advance our breeding objectives quickly and bring new genetics to customers faster!
Our breeding program aims to bring premium market value traits to our genetics.
Hemp Agronomy Tips from NWG Experts. For best ROI, NWG Agronomists recommend taking soil samples and testing your soil before the season begins. Soil tests help inform about available nutrients, pH, and other important soil qualities that can impact hemp production.
NWG explores hemp markets and high-value traits. Comparing hemp to other common oil-seeds helps to demonstrate where hemp can fit into existing processing. Hemp is a moderately sized seed, fitting well into existing oilseed manufacturing, whether mechanical or solvent.
The NWG Agronomy team wraps up cleaning and conditioning our ABOUND® varieties and AMPLIFY® hybrids for commercial growers next season. Seed is out for testing to ensure only the best quality seed goes out to your farm. Inventory is limited, call today. (800)970-1615 #qualityseed
Hemp pairs well in rotation with wheat, breaking up soil compaction, and increasing wheat yields following hemp. With premium US-bred genetics, and top of the line agronomic support an experienced wheat farmer can successfully add hemp to their rotation. DM an NWG Agronomists!

Well bred hybrid varieties outperform inbreds
Hybrid: the first generation (F1) progeny derived from a
cross between two genetically distinct, uniformly bred parental lines.
✅ Higher yields
✅ Improved vigor
✅ Higher stress tolerance
✅ Better nutrient use efficiency

NWG CSO, Rich Fletcher speaks at the Goodness of Hemp Summit in Montana next week. He’ll join the panel Optimizing the Seed and Farm Economics and discuss how our groundbreaking AMPLIFY hybrids with our patented genetic gender skew trait changes the game for economic viability.
New West Genetics offers quality assured hemp seed genetics. Here's a seed lot after the cleaning line. A fanning mill separates the foreign material from the seed. Then a gravity table separates seed by weight. A clean seed lot at stable moisture will keep its quality longer.
If you can harvest canola, you can harvest hemp!
With premium US-bred genetics, and top of the line traits and uniformity. Combining hemp grain is a straightforward as combining any other oilseed.

#hemp#AMPLIFY
Our low-density seed production plot ready to harvest. The swather easily slices through stalks and lays down massive seed heads to dry. Once dried, the seed heads are combined and on their way to cleaning in our warehouse. #hempharvest#seedproduction#hemp#NWGELITE#AMPLIFY
We're out with customers supporting harvest success. NWG Director of Agronomy, Daniel Willis, visits customers in KY and OH to assess timing, moisture, and set combines for maximum yields. Hemp production thrives when we work together. Great to collaborate with The Ohio Hemp Co!
UW Hemp Research Field Day - Aug 20th. Come hear about the latest hemp research conducted at UW including industrial hemp variety trials (with NWG ABOUND® varieties and AMPLIFY® hybrids). NWG Agronomist Jack Mangels will attend - chat with hemp pros! https://t.co/R9R6q3EME6
HEMP FIELD DAY AT THE PURDUE DTC. The field day on July 30th features NWG ABOUND® varieties and AMPLIFY® hybrids. See the difference US-bred, certified genetics make in the field. Big thanks to @PurdueAg and @HempMarguerite for hosting another field day! https://t.co/Ak8xrZRC8g
