Comment period for Iowa’s hemp regulations now open

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) is inviting public comment on the state’s proposed hemp production regulations.

Under the proposed plan, licensed farmers will be able to grow up to 40 acres of hemp per season. The department says it will start accepting hemp license applications once the USDA approves the state hemp plan and the online licensing system is operational.

Interested growers should continue to monitor iowaagriculture.gov/hemp for updates.

The public comment period will close on January 22nd.
