Preparing for the new hemp rules-consider your genetics

 Licensed NC hemp farmers are producing hemp under the rules and guidance of the NC Industrial Hemp Pilot Program until October 31, 2020. This is good news for many people because for our established hemp farmers and others working with the industry, it’s “business as usual”. But on November 1, 2020, the rules will change. As of that date we will all be operating under the U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program (often referred to as the Interim Final Hemp Rule) in some form or fashion. We don’t yet know if North Carolina will have its own hemp program or if we will operate directly under the USDA program, but regardless, there will be some serious changes that we should take this growing season to prepare for.
