October 28, 2022

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is encouraging hemp growers to participate in the United States House Agriculture Committee Farm Bill Review. This survey is an integral part of the oversight and review process of the 2018 Farm Bill in preparation of the 2023 Farm Bill.

Hemp is noted in the following federal Farm Bill titles:

  • Title VII – Hemp research grants
  • Title IX – Hemp cultivation
  • Title XI – Hemp crop insurance
  • Title XII – Controlled Substances Act exclusion of hemp

Please use this as an opportunity to share your insight and provide feedback on successes, failures, and new ideas for this comprehensive, multi-year law that governs an array of agricultural and food programs. A link to the survey is available here.
