Disclosed is primarily the composition of, and secondarily a method for forming, a low--density fiberboard panel primarily utilizing the fiber derived from the agricultural product industrial hemp. Uses for the panel include, but are not limited to, ceiling tile, insulation board, automotive interior finishes, and construction product core stock. The panel is formed primarily from the agricultural product industrial hemp. However sisal, flax, switchgrass, and other, agricultural products may be integrated within the product as supplemental agricultural fiber or filler as disclosed herein. The low-density fiberboard originates as dry industrial hemp fibers which are then bound together by pulping, creating an aqueous slurry, then the slurry is directed to a forming box, tray, or die, removing the liquid, where felting of the material is forced by the utilization of heat, forced air, pressing, rolling, and other dewatering techniques to form the panel to the desired size and attributes.
