Public Hearing on Proposed Rules Set for June 15
Bismarck, ND - May 03, 2006 -
In a trail blazing move, North Dakota's Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson formally proposed rules yesterday to license farmers in his state to grow industrial hemp under existing state law. With the backdrop of farmers across Canada planting over 50,000 acres of industrial hemp in 2006 to meet expanding demand for the nutritious and versatile plant in the United Sates, the rulemaking process announced yesterday is an important step towards bringing back U.S. commercial hemp farming that was stopped nearly 50 years ago.
{ Though it is about as regulated as the Feds could get it: }
Some highlights of the proposed hemp farming rules include:
-- Farmers must consent to a criminal background check including fingerprints
--Planted hemp must contain less than three-tenths of one percent tetrahydrocannabinol
-- Who the farmer sells to and how much is sold must be documented within 30 days of sale
-- The location of the hemp field must be provided using geopositioning (GPS) coordinates
