Summary
Farmers are turning to sunn hemp, a vibrant legume that’s slashing fertilizer costs and boosting soil health—especially as global prices soar. Sugarcane grower Neil Maitland cut his nitrogen bill by over $400 per hectare, while government trials show it can replace hundreds of kilograms of urea. Beyond savings, sunn hemp’s pest-fighting power is reducing damaging nematodes in cotton. Though cooler climates need more testing, farmers are already blending it into rotations to cut costs, boost biodiversity, and reclaim control over their soil.
