Wisconsin adopts two provisions from new federal hemp rule

By Larry Lee May 4, 2021 | 3:53 PM


Hemp growers in Wisconsin will be able to avoid crop destruction if their lot has a high THC test. 

Brian Kuhn leads the hemp program for Wisconsin’s Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection. He says the changes will help growers get some value for a crop that tests too high in Delta 9 THC. “Two hundred hemp lots (last year) were above the standard. This year, they will have an alternative.”

Kuhn says the new emergency rule released Monday allows growers to take advantage of two changes found in new federal final rule.
