Farmer growing hemp and checking plants growth, agriculture and environment concept
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) recently announced that it has postponed the transition to the new Wisconsin State Hemp Plan.
Instead of implementing the State Hemp Plan, the department will continue to administer the Wisconsin Hemp Pilot Research Program for another year.
On October 1st, Congressional action extended the authority of states to operate hemp pilot research programs until September 30th. Due to this action, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is in the process of extending the current hemp program operated under the authority of the 2014 Farm Bill to September 30th, 2021.
When available, more information about the emergency rule will be posted at https://hemp.wi.gov.
