Dallas Goldtooth and Danny Desjarlais Preview the International Hemp Building Symposium

Author: Eric Hurlock, Digital Editor September 10, 2025 Duration: 45:30

This week on the Hemp Show we're looking ahead to the 13th Annual International Hemp Building Symposium being held October 3–5 at the Lower Sioux Indian Community in Minnesota. It's the first time this global event has ever been held in the United States, and it promises to be a gathering that blends culture, sovereignty and sustainability with hands-on demonstrations and international expertise.

First we hear from Danny Desjarlais, Hemp Project Manager at Lower Sioux, about what this symposium means for his community and how a portion of the proceeds will support the building of a Dakota Language Immersion School. Then we call up Dallas Goldtooth — actor, activist, comedian and emcee of the Saturday night dinner — to talk about hemp, land, language and returning to traditional relationships with the natural world.

There’s a quiet revolution happening in fields and factories, and it’s centered on a single, versatile plant. Industrial Hemp Podcast, guided by Eric Hurlock, the Digital Editor at Lancaster Farming, moves beyond the headlines to explore what’s actually happening on the ground. This isn’t just theoretical discussion; it’s a direct line to the people driving the industry forward. Each episode features conversations with the farmers who are planting and harvesting these crops, facing very real agronomic challenges and opportunities. You’ll also hear from researchers, processors, and policy experts who are shaping the future of hemp for fiber, grain, and other industrial applications. The dialogue digs into the practicalities-from planting techniques and harvesting equipment to market trends, regulatory hurdles, and technological innovations that are changing the game. It’s a clear-eyed look at an agricultural sector finding its footing, reported by journalists with deep roots in farming communities. For anyone curious about the business, science, and sheer hard work behind industrial hemp, this podcast serves as an essential, grounded resource. Tune in for honest talk that cuts through the hype and gets to the root of this growing field.
