Enabling New Crop Supply Chains
New West Genetics is the global leader in creating premium, stable industrial hemp seed genetics that are enhanced for fuel, feed, nutrition, and fiber applications to mitigate climate challenges while serving the growing population. We combine traditional breeding, modern genomics, and agronomic expertise to create non-GMO industrial hemp seed bred for regional adaptation, high yield, and enhanced sustainability traits.
ABOUND® Multi-Purpose hemp seed varieties
Our ABOUND dual family of varieties allows growers to valorize all parts of the plant. These varieties have been bred for excellent grain yield and good bast to hurd ratio. Our top yielding ABOUND varieties have won first place in multiple University trials for stalk biomass and grain yield.
Dependent upon economic conditions in the commodity and hemp markets, it can make sense to dual or single crop these varieties. NWG team examines these market dynamics with producers and provides guidance on how to achieve the best ROI for their farm.
There’s something for everyone in the ABOUND family!
AMPLIFY® Hybrid Trait
The first commercial scale hemp hybrid!
We are proud to introduce the AMPLIFY family of hybrids. This non-GMO trait genetically skews the ratio of female to male plants up to 100% female. Current NWG hybrids skew the ratio between an average of 90% female, 10% male for adequate pollination to support grain production. The gender skew in concert with hybrid vigor doubles grain yield and greatly increases the uniformity of stalks in the field.
NWG is excited about the use of hemp grain markets. AMPLIFY’s dramatic yield increase and uniformity enable hemp to compete with oilseeds like soy, canola, and camelina, opening the door to adoption for food, feed, fiber, and sustainable fuels markets.
We investigate complex traits at the gene level and use that genomic data to inform selections. Complex traits like frost tolerance, disease resistance, improved nutrition, and hybrid seed systems especially benefit from this technology.
NWG is grateful for our respected partners across the supply chain. We connect and nurture relationships – from farm to crush to food, feed, and fuel. Our team facilitates crop offtake options with our Preferred Crush Partner programs.
Success starts at the seed
First US-bred Certified hemp seed
New West Genetics, started in 2014, is the longest-running US industrial hemp breeding program. We are the first to breed stable US-bred hemp seed varieties to pass Seed Certification standards, and first to market with true hemp hybrid, akin to sorghum and canola.
Our hemp seeds are non-GMO, bred for US adaptation with enhanced nutritional qualities, fiber qualities, and ease of production and handling.
High-germination and field vigor, created by our cutting-edge breeding program, bring customers the most uniform, high-performing genetics on the market.
We bred our seeds for existing on-farm equipment, to reduce cost and enable easy adoption. Selections have been made for regional soil and climate conditions, vigor, and pressure resistance.
Every product released has a third-party demonstration of regulatory compliance. Our varieties have received independent validation from State Departments of Agriculture, AOSA, and AOSCA for eight years and counting.
INNOVATIVE RESEARCH
Our research combines traditional breeding and modern genomics to bring the most ground-breaking traits to industrial hemp markets. Our varieties and hybrids are bred using proprietary methods and our extensive pedigree database to optimize large-scale production. In addition, the NWG Agronomy team conducts multiple trials annually to assess input ROI, row spacing, water use, planting depths, etc, to bring our customers the most up-to-date tips to your fields.
UNRIVALED CREDENTIALS
Our experienced scientists are well-respected professionals in the field of plant genetics and breeding as demonstrated through their success in the maize, rice, wheat, barley, sorghum and canola industries.
We are published in leading journals, grant recipients from the USDA, DOE, NSF, and ARPA-E. Dr. John McKay is a frequently requested speaker for many key note addresses at plant genetics conferences.
