Pesticides used on Hemp

The company I work for is looking to source hemp biomass. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows what pesticides are generally used. CO2 extraction systems are painstakingly hard to clean pesticides out of, so I’m trying to figure out if it’s going to be difficult to find clean biomass.

The couple of what I assume were brokers that I’ve talked to had no clue what I was talking about and were unable to distinguish what’s organic and GRAS as opposed to the stuff that when concentrated becomes a huge health risk. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

You have to keep in mind that hemp is often grown on soil previously used by other crops…so what the hemp farmer is using is only part of the equation.
