Family Roots and Hemp Shoots with Morgan Tweet, CEO of IND Hemp
About this episode
Morgan Tweet discusses her family, the industrial hemp industry, and ranch life.
Arlene and Caite sit down this week with Morgan Tweet, CEO of IND Hemp in Fort Benton, Montana, discuss “growing” her young family, the industrial hemp industry, and a Black Angus cow-calf herd on about 1,200 acres along the Missouri River. IND Hemp, founded in 2019 with her father, employs about 55 people across two Montana locations and has worked with roughly 40 growers, managing over 30,000 hemp acres, with facilities for fiber decortication and seed processing. She explains hemp’s three production categories (grain, fiber/biomass, and floral/cannabinoids), contrasting planting densities, compliance risk, and equipment needs, and addresses hemp’s prohibition history. The company sells B2B hemp hearts, oil, protein, hurd (mainly animal bedding), and fiber for insulation, automotive panels, wipes, erosion control, and emerging textiles. She describes advocacy in DC, feed approval work for hemp seed meal in laying hens via the Hemp Feed Coalition, and her education efforts as “The Industry Mama,” alongside reflections on parenting, childcare, and ranch life.
