Why allow intermediaries to add unnecessary costs when direct relationships can bring quality to the forefront? As supply chains tighten across industries, Red Mesa Science &amp; Refining is pioneering a streamlined approach to bring minor cannabinoids to market.&nbsp;
By bypassing brokers and relying on an efficient, around-the-clock refinement process, Red Mesa aims to reduce costs, ensure product consistency and empower the true stewards of hemp &#8211; the growers and refiners themselves. 
Jeff Applegate, Red Mesa's president, puts it simply. "Collaborating directly with qualified, experienced farmers and extractors is essential to keeping costs low and quality high." It's a model that prioritizes trust and accountability within every step of the supply chain.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leverage Instead Of Liability</h2>
Applegate detailed how brokers often disrupt the hemp supply chain by imposing additional costs, sometimes up to 15%, which can hinder farmer&#8217;s profits and drive up expenses for manufacturers, creating an unsustainable model for both sides.
Red Mesa has strategically positioned itself within the cannabinoid supply chain to minimize intermediaries and maintain competitive production costs. "Keeping production costs low is fundamental to industry success," Applegate told Benzinga Cannabis in an exclusive interview. "Collaborating directly with farmers and extractors in a cohesive supply chain is essential to keep our cost of input as a leverage instead of a liability."

"We're seeing less interference now, but reducing reliance on brokers is essential for a cost-effective system. The farmer and the customer need to be directly tied to one another so the farmer gets a fair return," he explained.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Not An Easy Crop</h3>
Sourcing consistent and affordable raw materials has presented a challenge as the hemp industry matures. Applegate explained that an initial oversupply in 2019 led to a rapid decline in hemp farming as prices plummeted. 
"There was an abundance of farmers when the 2018 farm bill was put into place," he said. "The market, the producers, wasn't sufficiently equipped to take all of the output that came. Since 2019, we've had nothing but a declining number of farmers."
"It's not an easy crop to grow at all," Applegate added, noting that hemp requires extensive processing before it can be used in extraction. This contrasts with the cannabis flower market, where crops can be more directly sold.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inside Red Mesa&nbsp;</h2>
Red Mesa's facility in Utah was initially a cabinet shop before being repurposed for hemp refinement. With its high power capacity &#8211; essential for their machinery &#8211; the location proved ideal. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="665" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165821/Liquid-Chromatography-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining-for-CBD-CBG-CBN-CRD-Isolates-and-Distillates-1024x665.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-636418" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165821/Liquid-Chromatography-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining-for-CBD-CBG-CBN-CRD-Isolates-and-Distillates-1024x665.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165821/Liquid-Chromatography-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining-for-CBD-CBG-CBN-CRD-Isolates-and-Distillates-300x195.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165821/Liquid-Chromatography-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining-for-CBD-CBG-CBN-CRD-Isolates-and-Distillates-768x499.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165821/Liquid-Chromatography-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining-for-CBD-CBG-CBN-CRD-Isolates-and-Distillates-1536x998.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165821/Liquid-Chromatography-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining-for-CBD-CBG-CBN-CRD-Isolates-and-Distillates.jpg 1663w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Liquid Chromatography Red Mesa Science and Refining for CBD CBG CBN CRD Isolates and Distillates. </figcaption></figure>
Applegate described how the production process flows from crude oil intake to distillation. This is further refined through crystallization and chromatography. "In distillation, we have the finished product. It's usually a light yellow to golden color, thicker in viscosity than water, almost syrup-like when warm," he explained.
Once the distillate undergoes crystallization, Red Mesa is left with a white, fluffy powder—ready for B2B sale. "We didn't walk across the bridge to become a white labeler or finished goods company," he said. "Our goal is to create the most coveted, consistent outputs to win the market."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Competitive Edge In Minor Cannabinoids</h3>
Red Mesa's botanical, non-synthetic refinement process sets it apart by isolating rare cannabinoids—such as CBN, CBT, and CBL—directly from hemp without chemical conversions.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="557" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--1024x557.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-636421" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--1024x557.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--300x163.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--768x418.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining--1536x836.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07165933/Gate-1-Red-Mesa-Science-and-Refining-.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Gate 1 Red Mesa Science and Refining</figcaption></figure>
"Our botanical refining process generates final outputs derived directly from the hemp plant without the use of catalysts and acids required for chemical conversion processes," Applegate explained.
To achieve this, Red Mesa made substantial investments early on. "To be the first refiner to offer rare minors such as CBN, CBL, and CBT at kilogram scale, we had to make significant investments in large-scale chromatography very early in the company's history," Applegate noted.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Red Mesa Standard: ISO Certification, And FDA Registration</h3>
&#8220;The Red Mesa Standard&#8221; represents a commitment to quality and consistency that Applegate says will set them apart. "We have an end-to-end certification from the beginning of our business to the end," he said, contrasting this with many industry peers who only certify specific departments. Additionally, Red Mesa voluntarily registers with the FDA as a food ingredient company, even though it's not required.

With operations currently running at about 45% of their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lpxdoVtWow">50,000-square-foot facility</a>, Red Mesa is poised for growth. "We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week," Applegate shared, adding that they gradually scaled up from single-shift days to continuous operation.
Looking forward, Red Mesa plans to enter the Japanese market in 2025 and establish regional distribution hubs to serve global customers.

While growth is a priority, so too is legislative reform. 
"The lack of clear rules for cannabinoid production is probably the biggest barrier we've seen to adoption. To bring prices down and make cannabinoids more accessible, we need efficient production coupled with thoughtful regulation," Applegate said. 
He emphasized that regulation and cost efficiency will help expand the market by making cannabinoids accessible to a wider consumer base.

No Middleman, No Markup: How Red Mesa Is Slashing Costs With Around-The-Clock Hemp Refinement

Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>) has gained roughly 12% to $20.26 since Tuesday evening amid Donald Trump winning the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2024 presidential election</a>.
Trump&#8217;s win, coupled with the Republican Party regaining Senate control, hints at a shift in U.S. economic policies, potentially involving corporate tax cuts, trade tariffs and measures to combat inflation—factors that could influence both traditional and digital markets.
What To Know: A key driver behind Ethereum Classic's rally is Trump's pro-crypto stance, including his vision of the U.S. becoming a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40671868/trumps-bitcoin-strategic-reserve-proposal-will-chip-away-dollars-status-warns-expert-money">&#8220;Bitcoin superpower.&#8221;</a> This renewed focus on cryptocurrencies as a store of value and inflation hedge has sparked investor interest in digital assets like Ethereum Classic, seen as a secure alternative to newer, more volatile coins.
Trump's anticipated economic policies could increase inflation, with experts predicting up to a 2.4% rise, pushing investors toward cryptocurrencies as a way to safeguard against the dollar&#8217;s decline.

Ethereum Classic has also cultivated a strong following due to its decentralized nature and its adherence to the original Ethereum vision. As retail investors seek safe havens from economic uncertainty, the coin's appeal could grow in an environment marked by rising inflation fears.
As the digital asset market continues to mature, the convergence of regulatory shifts, M&amp;A activities, and adoption trends will define the future of this dynamic field. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Future of Digital Assets</a> event in New York City this November will provide industry leaders and investors with a platform to explore these developments further, offering insights into the evolving regulatory environment and the latest market dynamics.

In the wake of Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2024 presidential win</a>, Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) has jumped 10% since Wednesday to reach $0.00001944.
Trump's victory, combined with the Republican Party's return to a Senate majority, signals a potential shift in U.S. economic policy that includes corporate tax cuts, high tariffs and an aggressive stance on inflation—factors that could reshape traditional and digital asset markets alike.
What To Know: A key driver of SHIB&#8217;s surge is Trump's pro-crypto stance, marked by his vision of the U.S. as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40671868/trumps-bitcoin-strategic-reserve-proposal-will-chip-away-dollars-status-warns-expert-money">"Bitcoin superpower."</a> Trump's proposal to incorporate Bitcoin into a national reserve has sent ripples through the crypto space, igniting excitement among investors who see digital assets as hedges against economic uncertainty. 
Trump's anticipated policies could stoke inflationary pressures, with JPMorgan analysts projecting up to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2.4% rise in inflation</a> if trade tariffs are fully enacted. In such an environment, investors often look to alternative assets like cryptocurrencies as protection against the dollar's decline. 
Shiba Inu, with its low entry price and high volatility, is a popular speculative asset among retail investors seeking both growth potential and a potential hedge against macroeconomic risks.

Shiba Inu was created as an Ethereum-based alternative to Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), branding itself as the "Dogecoin killer." Both coins share a meme-inspired appeal, drawing in retail investors with their playful branding and community-driven support.

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed his campaign leader, Susie Wiles, as his chief of staff. This marks the first time in US history that a woman has been appointed to this influential position.
What Happened: Wiles, a seasoned GOP operative from Florida, will assume her new role when Trump takes office in January. Trump lauded Wiles for her pivotal role in his successful 2016 and 2020 campaigns, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4979786-susie-wiles-chief-of-staff/">reported</a> The Hill.
&#8220;Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,&#8221; said Trump, reported The Hill.
He said, &#8220;It is a well deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.&#8221;
Wiles, known for her low-profile approach, spearheaded Trump&#8217;s Florida operations during the 2016 campaign and later collaborated with Ron DeSantis (R) on his gubernatorial campaign. However, she left DeSantis&#8217;s team due to escalating tensions.
The chief of staff role, second only to the president in terms of influence, will see Wiles managing Trump and his team, a task that proved challenging during his first term. Trump&#8217;s initial choice for the role, Reince Priebus, was replaced after six months by John Kelly, who later became a vocal critic of Trump.

Why It Matters: Wiles&#8217; appointment comes on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41766547/trump-gives-victory-speech-in-florida-as-winning-pennsylvania-puts-him-at-brink-of-victory-vows-to-f">heels of Trump&#8217;s victory</a> in the 2024 presidential election. Trump&#8217;s win, which he described as &#8220;the greatest political movement of all time,&#8221; was followed by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41807254/trump-election-raises-odds-of-roaring-2020s-scenario-veteran-wall-street-investor-s">surge in the U.S. stock market</a>, with analysts predicting a new &#8220;Roaring 2020s&#8221; scenario.
On Wednesday, after Trump won the election, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) shot up 2.5% to establish new record highs. The small-caps fund iShares Russell 2000 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) spiked 5.8%.
However, Trump also hinted at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41822473/trumps-potential-health-czar-robert-f-kennedy-jr-rattles-vaccine-stocks-shoot-first-reaction">potential senior role</a> for Robert Kennedy Jr. to advance his &#8220;Make America Healthy Again&#8221; agenda, causing uncertainty in pharmaceutical stocks.
With Wiles at the helm as chief of staff, it remains to be seen how these developments will unfold and shape the course of Trump&#8217;s second term in office.

Donald Trump will return to the White House and will bring major changes to the country's tax, AI and energy policies. RBC Capital Markets analyst Deane Dray highlighted some of the companies that may benefit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41828468/trump-says-hed-replace-income-taxes-with-tariffs-the-potential-economic-fallout">from Trump's policies. </a>
Fossil Fuel/ Energy Independence: Trump's plans for energy independence would reverse many of the Biden administration's policies in order to reinvigorate the fossil fuel industry. He aims to expand the construction of pipelines, grids, ports and refineries and emphasizes utilizing domestic oil, gas and coal resources. Dray pointed to Flowserve Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLS#NYSE">FLS</a>) and Emerson Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMR#NYSE">EMR</a>) as potential beneficiaries of Trump's energy policies.

Rollback of IRA/ Reduced Clean Energy Investments: Trump has said he plans<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854007/trump-says-he-will-end-the-electric-vehicle-mandate-on-day-one-days-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-endor"> to eliminate</a> many vehicle emissions standards under the Environmental Protection Agency as well as many EV incentives included in the Biden administration&#8217;s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). 
The RBC analyst again pointed to oil and gas companies as the key companies that could benefit from these potential policy adjustments, but cautioned it is too early to tell what the impacts might be for nuclear power companies. 
More Flexible/Reduced AI Regulation: RBC expects a Trump administration to be in favor of Big Tech and AI developers as he has called for a review of "unnecessary and burdensome regulations" on AI. The firm also pointed out that multi-industry data center-exposed stocks outperformed the sector by 500 basis points the day after Trump won the election. 
Dray said multi-industry companies involved in data centers that could benefit from Trump's less restrictive AI policies include nVent Electric Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVT#NYSE">NVT</a>) and Eaton Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>). 
Lower Corporate Tax Rate: Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41623850/trump-vs-harris-how-the-candidates-corporate-tax-proposals-stack-up">shared his plans</a> to lower the corporate tax rate to 15% for companies that make their products in the U.S. The RBC analyst sees lower corporate tax rates could lead to more reshoring from semiconductor and pharmaceutical companies and potentially more investment in the US. 
Dray pointed to Roper Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROP#NASDAQ">ROP</a>) specifically, but most publicly traded companies could benefit from lower tax rates. 
The Takeaway: "The bottom line is that early stock moves are playing out according to script, with the early stock outperformers being the electricals and oil and gas exposed names," Dray wrote.

Prediction market Kalshi, which is legal to U.S. bettors, also has several betting markets open for 2028 including the winning <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxpresparty/party-winning-presidency">party </a>with Republicans at 49% and Democrats at 51%.

Polymarket, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41694948/trump-polymarket-whale-has-30m-bet-on-former-president-winning-2024-election-my-intent-is-">had many prediction markets</a> on the 2024 election does not currently offer 2028 markets. The decentralized platform allows users to deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). The platform will be closely watched in the coming months to see who takes the early lead in 2028 election betting.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Polymarket saw over $3 billion bet on the 2024 election winner market with various other markets attracting high betting volume.
Kalshi had over $100 million wagered on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41701133/more-than-100m-wagered-on-presidential-race-on-kalshi"> the 2024 election outcome.</a>
Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) had over 400 million contracts traded during the 2024 election.
While betting on the outcomes of U.S. elections is not legal at sportsbooks for America, people around the world were placing wagers along with prediction markets and brokerages trading contracts to take advantage of strong user demand.
By the time the 2028 election rolls around there could be even more betting options and election betting<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/23/05/32244769/exclusive-draftkings-benefits-from-non-nfl-sports-growth-eyes-horse-racing-and-election-be"> could be legal at sportsbooks. </a>While things could look different in the coming years, the betting odds above will likely look different as candidates decide to run or withdraw their names from consideration.
It's likely not a surprise that Vance is the early betting favorite as the future vice president won the 2024 election ticket with Trump and would be the frontrunner for the Republican Party. The big question is if Harris will run for president again and if not her, who will be the frontrunner for the Democratic Party.
Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/10/41347270/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-polls-sportsbooks-betting-odds-show-different-winners-for-20">was the favorite </a>at +350 for the 2024 election after Joe Biden won the 2020 election as the current president originally said he would not run a second term. Biden and Trump trailed Harris in January 2021 betting odds to win the 2024 race at +400 and +650, respectively.
With Biden running again, the odds favored Biden, Trump and DeSantis, who ran in the Republican primary, for many months. With Biden dropping out, sportsbooks favored Harris before the odds shifted to Trump in the months leading up to the 2024 election.
While an Independent candidate has never won the election, the listing of Rodgers, who is the quarterback of the NFL's New York Jets, has captured some attention.
"I can't believe we live in a world where my QB has better odds to win the 2028 presidential election than my team does to win the Super Bowl," X user @blakenyjets <a href="https://x.com/blakenyjets/status/1854291783754363114">said</a>.
The New York Jets, who started the season as one of the favorites to win Super Bowl LIX, are currently 3-6 and the odds at DraftKings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) of a Super Bowl victory are +2,500 today.
