Yes! Check with the Wisconsin Department of Ag to learn particular state regulations. The federal Farm Bill passed in 2018 designated hemp to be an agricultural commodity, rather than the previous classification as a scheduled substance.

Growers in Wisconsin are permitted to grow and sell industrial hemp. Industrial hemp was legalized in Wisconsin in 2017. Hemp is used to making different products such as fabrics, ropes, and a lot more. These products are also legal. Hemp contains less than 0.3% THC. It can be grown freely by licensed growers.

Yes, it is! You will need this to obtain a license from the appropriate state department, and this can usually be done via the website. Like any business endeavor, a business plan should be in place, and identification of any potential hurdles should be made as well, so you start off on the right path.

Wisconsin growers can grow industrial hemp under a 2017 Wisconsin Act 100. This law was passed by the Wisconsin Legislature and was signed by the Governor. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) had to write an emergency admin rule to spell out the requirements for growers. This emergency rule is in effect until July 2020 unless they pass a permanent administrative rule in the meantime.

Yup legal to grow hemp in Wisconsin. In 2018, hemp production became legal in Wisconsin at the state level, overseen by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP). They initiated the Industrial Hemp Research Pilot Program, and in 2018, about 250 farmers in Wisconsin applied through DATCP to grow hemp.
