Abstract

"Following the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, all Cannabis (industrial hemp and marijuana) was illegal to produce. However, with the 2014 and 2018 federal farm bills and recent Missouri legislation (HB 2034 in 2018 and SB 133 in 2019), Missouri began allowing industrial hemp processing and is poised to allow commercial industrial hemp cultivation in the 2020 planting season. Growers will have to obtain a registration and/or permit from the Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA) to grow industrial hemp. Producer applications will open in January 2020. Industrial hemp processors or higher education researchers do not need a permit or registration ... The following sections of this report detail many key considerations for industrial hemp growers in Missouri. Understanding the regulatory climate, agronomic needs, economics and risk profile involved in producing industrial hemp is important to help growers make well-informed decisions as they seek this opportunity."--Executive Summary
