NWG OPEN POLLINATED GRAIN VARIETIES

NWG ELITE® 

Is a family of dioecious, open-pollinated hemp varieties that are genetically stable for large-scale hemp grain. NWG 331 was the first US-bred hemp variety to pass a Department of Agriculture THC trial. Our newest ELITE variety NWG 100 is sure to impress.

NWG Elite 100 Seed Head

NWG 100

Will launch commercially in 2025. NWG 100 is part of our ELITE family of open pollinated varieties bred for exceptional uniformity and grain yields. This variety is unique in its ability to produce high grain yields while minimizing wear on the combine with easy cutting and threshing. This variety maintains moderate maturity to mitigate the risk of early fall frosts at mid-latitudes.

NWG 331 Elite Hemp Grain & Fiber Variety

NWG 331

Certified in 2019 and launched commercially in 2020, NWG 331 is part of our ELITE family of hemp seed varieties bred for high stalk and grain yields. NWG 331 is unique inits ability to produce high stalk yields while maintaining an earlier maturity date to mitigate the risk of early fall frosts. It was highlighted by a University of Kentucky study for its high economic returns to growers due to good grain and stalk yields.
