Hemp Farming Rules For Georgia Growers

Medical Marijuana Bill
Medical Marijuana Oil Bill Clears Georgia Senate

Georgia Department of Agriculture released the rules that farmers would need to follow to get the chance to grow hemp.

Per AJC

Under the rules, an annual hemp grower license would cost $50 per acre, up to a $5,000 maximum. A hemp processor permit would cost $25,000 up front and $10,000 every year after.

Georgians can apply for hemp licenses as soon as the U.S. Department of Agriculture gives its approval.

All licensees would have to undergo inspection and sampling of their hemp crops. If any hemp sample exceeds the 0.3% THC limit, the entire crop will be destroyed.

Hemp growers also must maintain planting, harvest and production records.

More information about the proposed rules and how to submit written comments can be found on the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s website.
