Construction aggregate
Graded building hurd
Clean, consistent woody aggregate prepared for vapor-open hemp-lime construction.

State profile / Midwest
Processing & composites are defining the state’s role in the emerging domestic hemp economy.
Regional profile
Indiana represents one node in a national industrial system. Its competitive position is shaped by crop knowledge, nearby processors, manufacturing capacity, freight access, research, and the willingness of downstream markets to specify domestic hemp materials.
Supply-chain position
Move upstream or downstream through the industrial system.
