Hi new here and first-year hemp farmer.
I’m reading up on the potential impact of mold on my hemp biomass crop that I just harvested in southern Oregon and wanted to share this informational article I found here in an earlier thread:
It seems most outdoor crops in this area are going to have some sort of mold this year, due to the awful later summer weather this year. I’ll need to figure out how to test 15,000 lbs of dried hemp biomass for mold toxins. Seems impossible.
I’m also curious how come people are using the term “mycotoxin”. Those are toxins produced by fungi, not molds. Are we concerned with those as well? Or is it simply a misnomer?
