Hemp Grower Renewal Reminder
January 27, 2023
The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is reminding registered hemp growers that your current grower registration expires at midnight on January 31, 2023. MDARD mailed out hemp grower renewal applications the second week of December. You should have received a renewal application at the business mailing address you had on file with the department in 2022. If that address changed in 2022, and you did not report it already, please contact MDARD at 517-284-5771. Be sure to submit a postmarked renewal application by January 31, or you will need to include the late fee with your renewal payment.
