Western wildfires continue to threaten parts of California and Oregon, but also other areas of the Intermountain West, including Colorado.  The situation is fluid enough in Oregon and California that a thorough assessment isn’t possible yet.  Over one million acres have burned in Oregon alone, where over half a million people at least were forced to pick up and leave their homes and farms and flee for safety.   The fires could impact long-term hemp prices, particularly smokable flower pricing, but it isn’t yet clear what the effects will be on the crops that survive.
